Review:

An interesting take on the Faustian bargain, mixed with a little of the invisible man.  It is an odd love story.  The way that the story develops, the changes in perspective, and the lack of an ending is itself compelling.  It gives the book a sense of honesty that the book should not have.  "It makes the whole thing seem real."  "They fit together" was a shocking statement.  It is how my wife and I see each other, but, hopefully, the relationship is better!
