"Matt is a master at suppressing his urges, but there is nothing
romantic about debut novelist Miller's portrayal of anorexia...
discussion of Matt's future is brutally honest. As Matt's body
deteriorates and his 'powers' reach new levels, readers must decide
for themselves what is and isn't real."--Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
"Matt is an admirably strong character who is out and proud,
brilliant, creative, and determined to survive... Miller's creative
portrait of a complex and sympathetic individual will provide a
welcome mirror for kindred spirits."--Booklist
(starred review)
"Matt toes the line between expiration and enlightenment, sparing
no detail of his twisted, antagonistic relationship with his body.
[His] sarcastic, biting wit keeps readers rooting for him and
hoping for his recovery. A dark and lovely tale of supernatural
vengeance and self-destruction."--Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
"One of the most important books of the year... How different, and
how beautiful, our world would be if we could take its lesson of
empathy to heart."--B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy blog
