I loved this book. The descriptive powers of this author are awesome. I was captivated by lines such as, "little blue icicles leaking out of our eyes---our frozen self-pity?" and "her eyes were as flat as a lake and her hair the colour of ditch water".Clay has an injured psyche, but as a reader you can't help feeling he must also be inherently evil and then again.... The story is told from his point of view and the author has created a very believable character. His every word of description about himself and the environments he frequents and arrives in is so true to life you can almost see him as he speaks.It's impossible to say much about the plot without giving spoilers, because every single word counts in this excellent and clever story.Highly recommended.
