"'My life might be little and boring, but at least it's mine- not some assembly-line, secondhand, hand-me-down life'" -Rant Casey
First book of the summer is done. And I like it. I was surprised how it ended up, with all the time travel, but it was very enjoyable. I figured there had to be something fishy going on when I realized Chet had all the same scars as Rant. It was interesting. But what I really loved was learning about Rant's childhood. Like that his mother would put little random things, like stones, or tinfoil, or thumbtacks, in food, to make people eat slowly and REALLY taste her food. I think that is so funny, and I have no clue how Chuck comes up with that. It's almost like "Well if you and society are going to force me into this role of house-wifery, then I damn well better be appreciated for it, so I'll stick stuff in my food so that you HAVE to taste it." Haha, I think it's hilarious. And that Rant would purposely get bitten by anything and everything. So crazy. It really amazes me that some one can think this stuff up. Chuck and Toni are the reasons why I feel so inadequate, because I sincerely doubt I will ever be able to think up the shit they've got going on in their brains. It is so awe-inspiring.
And I liked that Echo wasn't some sort of perfect vision of beauty. And that she was a virgin even though everyone thought she was a sex worker. Funny. But I'm wondering, if both Chet and Green were Rant, how did they get split? I know at one point they say that time splits if you try and kill your ancestors, but I don't remember anything about people splitting. Well, actually, Chet is Rant after he time travels through the crash. Green is Rant's father and grandfather and great-grandfather. So Green isn't Rant, he's just related to Rant. Hm. It is a very interesting story.
Next I'm going to read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombie," which very well may be hilarious.
