It has this weird disturbing sociopathic twinge to it, reinforced by the main character (an adolescent girl raised as a boy) referring to her parents as "the mother" and "the father." Well, that, and the trail of carnage and destruction she leaves. If you like your reading to unsettle you, this is the book.

On another note... I just got an iPad. Can anyone recommend their favorite ereader app?
i think you can download all of the apps...
