The subtle yet intriguing cover did not give me a clue as to the genius that goes on inside of the book. It starts out with a man Selah being hired for a job for a secret police agency more powerful than the CIA. Then he comes across an accident where a girl gets hit by a taxi.
What results from this plot is an exiting plot that can be only compared to Roald Dahl.
Selah claims to be the boyfriend of the girl who was revealed to have amnesia because of the accident and is giving orders to keep her awake for 18 hours.
So Selah started to tell her a story. A story in which he is told a story of a story he was told by a woman at a restaurant about a story her own grandmother told her about a man with incredible luck. This man within that story is then told a by a man who can see the future about Selah (the narrator) in the future.
Needless to say this is the most amazing book that I have read in ever! Ever since my childhood it has been hard to find a book for my age that exersises the imagination in such a smart and whimsical way. The world needs more books like this. In the age of "Twilight" being acclaimed as some great work of literature it is refreshing that real authors are out there. We need more people like Jesse Ball
