Each chapter, or should I say story, of this book is very well written. Each character has a different voice, and all stories are interested. I have trouble trying to understand why this book is not more popular amongst readers and BEE fans alike.             The Contortionist's Handbook59 reviews Craig Clevenger MacAdam/Cage, 2003 Amazing novel + A solid read + Must read! + Great book...             Dermaphoria28 reviews Craig Clevenger MacAdam Cage, 2006 absolutely brilliant + Twisty Sizzler! + If anyone close to you has been addicted... + His second is just as good as his first. + Past?

He hits it here. These characters aren't at all overblown. They are incredibly shallow. They are exactly as shallow as they would be if they were actually alive.
