This is one of the strangest books I have read. A teen boy gets mad cow disease and embarks on a hallucinogenic journey to save the universe. He encounters norse god in the form of a garden gnome, fire giants, punk angels, reality TV, Inuit rock bands, jazz legends and a nefarious snow globe company. Since the path through this journey is to look for random connections, it all makes sense as you read. But once in a while I would just sit back and absorb the weirdness. I do believe this one of the most honest books about end of life issues as well, in terms of how the brain actually works. Great fun, a decent stab at some cosmological physics and simultaneously logical and random, if you can believe it.
