It is the best I have ever read in my thirteen years on this earth. Actually, I mentioned long ago in one of the books that the box only works once. Use it a second time and you get hives. Or possibly dandruff. People in this culture of psycho-babble and Disney happy endings sometimes forget that it's the persistent conflicts that make characters interesting.
People are as interesting as their limitations.
People are complicated and messed up. And that's mostly a good thing. At least he's not dull. I would really like to see Tobias discover his mother. It seems like that.
