Somewhere I read this book as being described as one that takes on real-world problems in a Science Fiction setting. No one could describe it any better. This book is pretty darn wild. Not for everyone, that is for sure. But I did enjoy it a lot. I don't think I ever would have made it through, reading it, but listening to it was very enjoyable.
Yes, it is about the end of the world. Yes, it is about giant, indestructible grasshoppers. But it is so much more. It's also about Polish immigrants. It's also about discovering one's sexuality. It's also about poverty. Small towns. Wow, it is just about a LOT of stuff! Bizarre. But pretty brilliant, I think. This is my first Andrew Smith book, but I will try another one, for sure.
