I was planning on testing the field, just going through a few chapters to see if it would be for me… My heart is … simultaneously heavy and light? Frozen in a total equilibrium room? All I could think as I read it was, ‘‘Please, have mercy.’’Īnd yet… I know that I will be rereading this one next year, and the year after, and so on and so forth until the end of my days on Planet Earth. In the end, each must choose his own truth. August and Jack struggle to keep afloat as they teeter between fantasy and their own emotions. As Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy in this alternate world, even August begins to question what is real or not. Jack’s vivid and long-term visions take the form of an elaborate fantasy world layered over our own-a world ruled by the Wicker King. When August learns that his best friend, Jack, shows signs of degenerative hallucinatory disorder, he is determined to help Jack cope.
