survivor. . .

This book is questionably the strangest book I've ever read and its also not a good book to read if you have a headache because it just makes you question the author to often. And just some advice to any one else writing a blog post, its not a good idea to write anything when you have a headache because it just makes it 20 times worse. So back to the book, first the book is backwards, because it starts at chapter 47 and on page 285. This is one of the reasons I'm so interested in the book, and the other reason is that the main character is has a "one of a kind" personality. he tells this story about where he grew up and his brother telling him "stories" from the "outside world". they are forced to live in this church district which sounds like a culted community from the way they describe it in the book. they are only allowed a chance to escape when they reach the age of 17. him and his brother take this chance as soon as possible he never says any else about his brother except that he was  naive and stupid. Well he gets a job cleaning up after other people in their houses which i can tell is going to be some type of metaphor later in the book.
   It fast forwards to about 10 years later where he still holds the house maid job. he frequently adds comments like "ask me how to get blood stains out of wallpaper?" and "ask me how fix stab wounds in suits?" he says these things because he has had to learn how to accomplish these tasks in his experience as a house maid. many of the things are very strange, but a few are helpful and some what handy to a very industrious person i guess. this book does have its comical moment's, but some of the stuff he says is nothing but sick and disturbing. If anyone is debating reading this book, they definitely should because it is totally worth reading.
