Glory O'Brien's History Of The Future

This book was weird, but in a good way. The plot is sort scattered and is told in flashbacks which is an interesting approach. The story focuses on Glory, who is about to graduate from high school. She hasn't decided what she wants to do in her life. When she was four years old her mother committed suicide so she lives with her father. One day she and her friend Ellie decide to drink a mummified bat (as angsty teenagers do) and they soon find they have the power to see in to the future and past of everyone they look at. This book is strange, if that isn't already obvious from my description. The subplots and they way characters act is strange and reminds me of a Wes Anderson movie. If you are looking for a short strange book that I recommend this one for you.

  2. Errr... interesting? I, uh, think your description made me want to both read the book and shudder. I will read it, cause I've already shuddered. Nice review though.

  5. Ahhh... interesting review. This appears to be a unique book, even if some parts of it don't appear to make sense. (I am not actually so skeptical, but I just noticed every single comment had an ellipsis at the beginning of it and you know, peer pressure.)
