The Age of Sinatra

For the first several sections I thought Ohle was just going to pile weirdness onto weirdness, but soon I fell into his created world and realized that this was a book about people just getting by on getting by, dealing with what their society tosses their way, whether it's elective deformation surgery, worms in their stools, or strange growths from their chins. There is no plot to speak of, perhaps because so much of what happens in this world is arbitrary, but it makes for an enjoyable read. Admittedly, it is not as tight or as involving as Motorman.
