It's late, but I finally finished Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl. This book was definitely a mixture of annoying and amusingly clever, but in the end, I like it. More later when I'm fully awake...New notes: I liked this book a lot. I like the way it leaves you wondering what was real and what was imagined. I, for the most part, enjoyed the way the author wrote, but it does get tedious as you keep reading and I found myself skipping a few descriptive passages. The author seems very amused with her own ability to describe things colorfully for the reader, but it dragged on as pretentious as the plot thickened. Ultimately, though, I would recommend this book. It was simultaneously dark and amusing.
