Publisher's Summary

Paul O'Rourke is a man out of touch with modern life. While his dental practice occupies his days, his nights are filled with darker thoughts, as he alternately marvels at and rails against the optimism of the rest of humanity.

So it goes, until someone begins to impersonate Paul online. What began as an outrageous violation of privacy soon becomes something far more soul-frightening: the possibility that the virtual 'Paul' might be a better version…

Brilliant

Absolutely loved this book. Never wanted it to end. i just felt like there were so many loose ends- it ended so abruptly! But Ferris is an exceptional writer, funny and clever, and I highly recommend this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
