"Libba Bray not only breaks the mold of the ubiquitous dying-teenager genre--she smashes it and grinds the tiny pieces into the sidewalk. For the record, I'd go anywhere she wanted to take me."--
The New York Times "Offer this to fans of Douglas Adams's
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy seeking more inspired lunacy."--
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"An unforgettable, nearly indefinable fantasy . . . wholly unique, ambitious, tender, thought-provoking, and often fall-off-the-chair funny."--
Booklist, Starred Review
"Readers will have a great time."--
The Horn Book "It's a trip worth taking."--
SLJ "Here's one book about dying that has a wicked sense of humor."--
The Denver Post "A laugh-out-loud tear-jerking fantastical voyage into the meaning of what is real in life."--
VOYA "A very messed-up book, but in a good way. . . .Hilarious, random, surreal and thought-provoking."--Guys Lit Wire
