(SO, let's pretend like I'm not a total LAMER who never gets around to reading anything until like a week after it was posted, AHEM.)

Oh my God, I enjoyed this so much! I really feel like it's... something I've never read before, you know? The story (and the way it was told) just seem so original. And I love it's so dark and almost corrosive, but then the characterizations give it a feeling of humanity and keep it from being completely bleak and grim. And the dialogue!

^^^LOL I RAMBLE TOO MUCH. BUT I THINK MY POINT WAS, DAMN, THIS WAS REALLY GOOD.
