Rating:  - Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality.
A previous reviewer ventured the bold opinion that Steve Erickson cannot write.

Rating:  - Recipe for a Steve Erickson novel
Half a dozen books in, and the pattern is going strong:

Rating: - a whirlwind of truth
This is a creative work than spawns further than the imagination will typically allow. This is an exuberant blend of creativity to come to the truth about the soul, and the reality of that wich posseses it, or vice versa. A must read, if your willing to be exposed to the insane chaos it may reveal. 5+
