DESCRIPTION:
"Hughes has burst onto the literary scene with enough originality, sparkle, and outrageousness to fill several more volumes. I can hardly wait for his next book."Patricia Gale, Blogcritics
Join Sheep as it learns to become itself while it becomes us, for better, for worse, and finally, forever.. A sometimes horrifying, sometimes hilarious post-modern, gothic fairy tale for people who don't believe in fairy tales, I Become You is the tale of Sheep, an empathic lab experiment gone bad, desperate to do good and incapable of doing much of anything at all
Jonathan Sherman said An extraordinary new novel from a totally original writer. This is really an extraordinary novel. It's the epic story of a cloned sheep who is born with the power to see into the consciousness of others. I know that sounds a little crazy but you have to trust the incredible literary powers of Thomas Hughes because the novel is so thoughtful, humane and unexpectedly funny. The sheep is constantly trying to make sense of why humans do what they do a. Highly recommended! I absolutely LOVED this book. It might sound like a contradiction, but if you are looking for a page-turner that also hits you over the head with a strong dose of philosophical wit and psychological twists and turns, this is the book for you. Drop Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" and Carr's "The Alienist" in a blender with a dash of Magical Realism and you might get something like this. Highly . Word Spinner Extraordinaire Take Edgar Allen Poe, Cervantes, Philip K. Dick and O'Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief" put them in a smoothie machine, let it spin for a good long time, pour it in your glass and drink it down in one gulp and you will have the amazing original modern classic that I just read, I Become You.
