I found that this book is harder to get into than the previous books I've read. The one thing I've noticed about fantasy is that it can be very descriptive and long winded at times. The same thing goes for this novel, it drags on and on and takes and while to get going. The main character Charlie is in plain words, a punk. He simple but is overall happy with his fiance. He has a brother named spider, who is a little off to say the least.
Being brothers, Charlie and Spider develop a sibling rivalry. Spider tends to mess with Charlie throughout the book. This relationship relates to most siblings and creates a connection between the reader and the book. Charlie talks to a spider (insect) and asked him to find his brother and later wishes his brother away. Spider comes up with a plan to take over Charlies life. He goes to his job and even goes out with his fiance'. Its kinda like Fight Club where Tyler isnt a real person but just an extension of the main character.
There are alot things in this story, just one thing after another. It's hard to make sense of it all. It seems like the book is telling the same story from a different perspective and branch out from one another. It is mental overload of story. Its hard to emerce yourself in the story when so many things are happening.
