Best Ever by a Living Author: This is Terry Bisson's best work. Never to be duplicated, this novel is the best available of any living author.Far better than his other great efforts.

This must be the shortest book about saving the world that I ever read. The story is told kinda from the sidelines or from the outside; I didn't get the feeling of really getting into the characters.

Also, I think you need way better knowledge of American geography and especially knowledge about and interest in cars than I have to not feel left out. ( )
