I really enjoyed this, and I suspect that if I'd read it when I was closer to college age, that I'd have adored it. The protagonist, Janet, is intelligent, driven, and thinks things through. The dialog is a mad tangle of literary allusions, which is great fun. The characters vary, and have some depth to them.[return]The book starts out with a straightforward tale of college life, but the fantasy element gradually tiptoes in, until it's built into a suspenseful page-turner.
