Ratings and reviews

Every time I read this I get something different I missed before. This series holds many ideas about life as humans as a whole know it. To really get this you have to let go of what you are used to and believe that things could be a bit bigger than you could imagine. Awesome story as a whole, this book is a weird but detailed intro.

The bubble zoom has a few mistakes. Come on!

Deep!
