About this ebook
A dazzling, remarkably original dark comedy about a young New Yorker's failed attempts to isolate himself in a city that won't take solitude for an answer
For years it's been Andy Green's job to stump students nationwide by coming up with the wrong answers for their multiple-choice tests. Recently, however, his own life has become overwhelmed by wrong choices. When a love affair is mysteriously ended by a Post-it note and followed up by a random street assault, Andy locks himself in his Hell's Kitchen apartment. In solitude, he thinks, he might be able to get a grip on his life. But when he is forced to reemerge six months after the attacks of September 11, the city awaiting him is more bewildering than ever and all the people in his world seem to be part of a vast conspiracy.
Equal parts noir, French farce, and homage to New York, Suspension is a surprisingly heartfelt novel about learning to live in a world where nearly everything is decided behind our backs.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book by an author I had not heard of was pretty blah. i finished it (unlike most books that I don't love), but I wasn't terribly impressed. The plot was pretty interesting but I didn't feel very attached to any of the characters, although I appreciated the character of Sonia who was quite weird. This book was an okay read, but there are much better reads out there.
