First Lines...  "His eyes still shut, a dream dissolving and already impossible to recall, Hector's hand sluggishly reached accross the bed. Good. Aish was up. He let out a victorious fart, burying his face deep into the pillow to escape the clammy methane stink."

My thoughts... Ok, this book is not likely going to be what I expected! The summary leads you to believe its a fairly deep, involved discussion of humans and their connections to family and friends.  Umm...maybe not so deep?!
