Query: Thoroughly well-crafted

wow! What a thoroughly well crafted book. This book is as completely complete as it could be. I'm astounded by how cohesive and massive it is (it reminds me of Thomas Harding or some of those other "big names" I read back in High School honors courses). I really enjoyed it. There were a few times, in the middle, when I began to get a little bogged down in all of it, but I soldiered on, and was well rewarded for my effort.Cal's narrative voice is so engaging and unique, that had me hooked immediately. The descriptive force of this book is very powerful. Plus, let us not forget the "elephant in the middle of the room"--how many pulitzer prize winning novels about hermaphrodites are there? The back of this addition uses the word "breathtaking" and, as overused as that adjective is, it is accurate in this case.
