Kathe Koja's writing probably isn't for everyone the reviews seem pretty split on Goodreads. I could go on and on about this prose but I'll leave it at what I've written. Brief, staccato, BAM: there's the picture-full and complete. For instance ".the flat was full of drizzly day." 7 words that draw a perfect scene. Beautiful, honest and evocative words that my brain immediately transferred to a visual-like a direct injection. There were short, staccato-like descriptions that.stabbed at my heart. I'm a bit irritated with myself because the few clips I made of the audio that highlighted the prose apparently did not save. This must not have been an easy performance due to the style of the aforementioned prose-especially in the second half of the book because it's a stream-of-consciousness narrative. Koja's prose, and Joshua Saxon the narrator brought it home with flare. What happened to these items when they were thrust inside? You'll have to read this to find out! They stuck different things into the hole, (getting uncomfortable yet?), including bugs, a mouse, and then a hand. This is the story of Nakota and Nicholas who one day found a black hole, named it the funhole, and changed their lives forever. It may not be as big as some, Stephen King's say, but there are joys to be found in smaller congregations. I've only recently joined the church of Koja. THE CIPHER! I don't even know what to say.
