Interstate Dreams

Interstate Dreams is a helluva book. It's about Dreamer, a guy who has a little piece of steel in his head and who can walk past any burglar alarm ever made. It's about big-time crooks with big-time plans for new advances in genetic engineering. It's about Austin and Houston; it's about Mexican food and tropical fish. It's about a lot of other things, too, every single one of them worth reading about. The writing in this book sings. It's the kind of writing that makes other writers think about taking a sledgehammer to their word processors or going outside to take a kick at the cat. I enjoyed every sentence in this book. Best fourteen bucks I've spent this year.
