A book like few other books

Status: Bookseller Picks

Looking for a book that demands rereading as soon as you’ve finished?  This is that book.  Set in a post apocalyptic world, author Nick Harkaway blends elements of road novels and Sci-fi with an Asian influence and as many twists and turns as a wild rollercoaster.  The story follows Gonzo Lubitsch and his friends to edge of the civilization in an attempt to save their world.  It’s a fast paced book that draws you into a world with a Go-Away bomb, a weapon that transforms the people that it touches…maybe they’re dead or maybe something worse happens. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it again because the twists it takes would make a second reading seems like a whole new book.  I did read it again, and it was even better the second time around.

I'm about 150 pages into this and loving it so far!  Great suggestion.  So far it's one of the most unpredictable and funny sci-fi(ish) books I've read in years.
