Captures the reader with true magic.

Aphrodite had the beauty; Zeus had the thunderbolts. Everyone loved Aphrodite, but everyone listened to Zeus.

A young man's passion, a jaded siren's last chance for love, a world gone mad, cheap thrills, fast cars, expensive wines, the triumph of victory, the overthrow of ontologically incipient hegemony, and gum! I have no idea if this book has any of them! But I liked the part about the bunny.

Some men were nothing but overgrown boys who never got over the "fun" of teasing girls, just to get noticed

The truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty, and sometimes the greatest danger.
