The story begins with a young girl being horrifically abused.  She develops a relationship with an imaginary friend that helps to slow her steady descent into madness and despair.  I was often struck during this early reading by the authors ability to make what should be a horrible occurance more palatable by his use of whimsical scene and dialogue development.  I began to wonder if this was a planned or accidental technique.  My curiosity was satisfied a little later in the book when our little girl grows to fifteen and meets an all american lad who plays baseball.  Now the author uses narrative and scenic development to peel away layers of nice young man and expose a horrible monster beneath.  So we have our heroine now in love with a terrible person.  Oh this can't be good for Mae!  I would have liked to have followed this story to conclusion but the author now decides to showcase yet another scene involving some parallel universe theory.  It is getting complicated in here folks!  If you like twists, turns and downright confusion then this is the book for you.  I must say that I admire the ability of this author to develop dialogue and settings.  He seems very talented and I would like to see more of his writing, but hope he can keep an overactive imagination in check.  I did read to the conclusion and was entertained till the story ended with a final (and obvious) twist.
