This is one of those books that at first, you say, what is this? And then as you keep reading, and find out what others are saying about it, you do one of those, "Oh, wow, now I totally get it".This story contrasts the journal entries with a narrative in every other chapter, so it is almost as you are reading a crazy mind, balanced with a normal one. If you are looking for something traditional, this is not the book for you, but if you are into a wacky ride of the atypical and unique, this is the book. Basically, Dally Johanis is a remarkable individual who wants to lure producers into making a film where he believes in order to be successful, they must capture an actor and deprive him of food or water every day until he is gone. The reason for doing this is because Dally believes every successful movie must have a death in it. When the media gets involved, and producers buy into the idea, the book takes a twisting turn. of a disturbed Dally who also has a twin brother that he pretends to be while riding around in a wheelchair, but in the end, we discover what it all means. I won't spoil it, but I am still thinking about it. Very original plot to say the least.
