Paradoxically

Wow. This book was pretty damn good. I cannot wait to read the next one.

A couple of quotes:

"The project I did last year was on Jeffrey Dahmer,' I said. "He was a cannibal who kept severed heads in his freezer.'

'I remember now,' said Max, his eyes darkening. 'Your posters gave me nightmares. That was boss.'

'Nightmares are nothing,' I said. 'Those posters gave me a therapist."


Annnd my favorite!

"The thing about boxes,' I said, 'is that you can open them up. Even though they're completely boring on the outside, there might be something interesting on the inside. So while you're saying all of these stupid, boring things, I'm imagining what it would be like to cut you open and see what you've got in there.'....

'The thing is, Rob, I don't want to cut you open. That's not who I want to be. So I made a rule for myself: anytime I want to cut someone open, I say something nice to them instead. That is why I say, Rob Anders of 232 Carnation Street, that you are a great guy."
