A book to pass onto your intelligent friends
4 May 2010
Format:Paperback
Awesome awesome book. "Chicken" is a web of a story that draws you in. The stories are crazy, interesting, involved and complicated. I don't want you to think this is so intricate it is cumbersome to read, Wanda Shapiro delivers it all in the most uncomplicated and effortless manner. Wanda Shapiro does what only the best authors do...she stays with you.
Can't wait for what's next. Stay curious my friends!

touched
3 May 2010
Format:Paperback
Wanda Shapiro's style of writing beckons the reader with a rare absence of flair, frill, or pretence of poetic license. We are given the immediate impression that we are not in the hands of a philosopher but those of a compulsive living room storyteller, who may or may not be chain-smoking as she goes. There is an immediacy in her voice akin to a fractured dam, beyond which rumbles a fractured innocence (that somehow manages to retain a crisp, if not sociopathic, hopefulness) large enough to engulf us all. Her characters are shallow only as a means of survival, and in this portrayal we find ourselves, unzipped to a gleaming infancy we've lately been tempted to believe never happened. By the final chapter I was touched almost to tears; which truly is a feat of genius when you consider how seemingly idiosyncratic and circumstantially absurd much of the character interplay is going-in, never imagining what a precise and well-intended design Shapiro is labouring with. I don't believe that this novel can be compared to any other.

Fasten your seat belt
19 April 2010
Format:Paperback
Prepare for a bumpy ride, and expect the unexpected. Actually, don't bother. It won't really help. It's nothing like anything you've ever read, so no preparation will really help. Just fasten your seat belt. Now, go.
