Spitz isn't much for big theories, but that's O.K. The details are what's new and interesting anyway. Similarly, the beginning of the book is more interesting than its end, which is pretty much the Yokotastrophe you'd expect. When John was 5, his mom and dad separated. His father sat him down and made him choose which parent he would live with. At first he chose his father, but after his mother left, the desperate little boy went running up the street after her.

...Chalk it up, say Floridians, to blow burnout. With hurricanes hatching like Caribbean cockroaches, the state has had to gird for at least eight major storms in the past 14 months-four since June. "You just can't expect people to be on edge, to be ready for war, all the time," said doctor's aide Mike Dorsainbille, 31, as he waited for gas in Pompano Beach, in hard-hit Broward County.

There’s plenty of blood and more humor in this short than one would expect. The brightly saturated colors and swooping camera work—as well as the relatively non-menacing villain—make it difficult to take the situation too seriously, and it becomes a black comedy in the vein of “American Psycho.” It succeeds in making viewers simultaneously laugh and cringe, but because it is the longest piece even though it takes place in one room and has fairly repetitive character interactions, it overstays its welcome...
