Binky Comments: Well, the major theme of this book is of the individual yearning to break free of his faceless, collective society and…oh, okay. You didn’t have to depict it that literally, but okay.

A naked, completely hairless man is the obvious choice to represent both individuality and the book’s teenage protagonist. *clap* *clap* *clap*

I quite like this one. But I do wonder what happens if old egg-head decides to go for a run, or on a trampoline. Little fella will find himself omeletted in there.

Heady cover art aside, this cover is weirdly minimalist. Title at the very top in a nondescript font, author’s name at the very bottom in the same*. Nothing else.

Ok, I know I’ve already commented on this book but its genius is slowing sinking in. Who cares what the story is. I want this book so I can read it in the corner of a coffee shop holding it up to my face so that people see the book cover face instead of mine.
