Sold by HarperCollins 4.1 star 150 reviews Ebook 768 Pages familyhome Eligible info 13.49 Ebook Free.A bildungsroman like nothing else I've ever read, or probably will ever read. The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.: A Novel Neal Stephenson 'Young English boy with psychic mother, who is the second person in history struck by a meteorite, has an inauspicious encounter with a disabled, pacifist American Vietnam veteran with a passion for Kurt Vonnegut, and eventually winds up detained at border security with an urn and a lot of pot.' There's no way it should work as a coherent story, and yet somehow it does, and it's relatable and dryly hilarious and incredibly poignant - the book handles some very heavy issues in a very mature way. One of those books that's impossible to explain without it sounding totally insane. " The Universe Versus Alex Woods ($16) highly, highly underrated - I've encountered about a half dozen people who also read it, and I've been recommending it all over for ages (all the others I talked to loved it as much as I did.) Absolutely amazing.
