Let me just say that, after finishing this book, I am pretty overwhelmed by it and can't really say WHAT I think. The book was funny, thought-provoking, "far-out", touching, and even had some really important life messages. For the most part I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. I'm still conflicted over the ending... not sure what I think of it yet. 
 I will say that the characters are well developed-- I felt like I knew Cameron, Gonzo, Balder, and Dulcie well by the end of the book, and hated to say "goodbye" to them when the book was over.
