Typical Confusing Kieth (but interesting!)
If you've ever read The Maxx, you know how weird Sam Keith can get. No. You don't. Kieth gets even weirder here. The most interesting thing here is the relationship of the main characters. It's a good ride, but the disjointed story telling and the heavy even sometimes self aware use of metaphor get in the way. A little more so than they do in the The Maxx, but not by much. Again, as others have said, if you like Kieth, you may find this interesting.

Wonderful
An amazing retrospective of a man, who's totally been influenced by all the girls he know.Married with an older woman his life will twist into fantasies to get what he lost.

Unlike Anything I've Ever Read
Let me get the negative out of the way: The art in this book is a bit sloppy at times, even with the help of Sam Keith's pinch hitters. But I've never read a story like this. The way that the threads of the imaginary and the emotional weave together as the main character explores himself is intense and extremely thoughtful. This book demands the reader's focus, and the payoff is worth it.

Classic Sam Kieth
This story is a weird look at libido and age differences in relationships. It's got great art, an oddball story, and is surprisingly poignant in places.I could also see where people might think that it's a bunch of derelict ideas awash in a loosely presented narrative.My recommendation is to check it out in a comic store first if you aren't already a fan of Sam Kieth. If you are (and I am) then this is another must-buy.

Great, but not for everyone
If you liked The Maxx & Ojo, then this comic is for you. It's about sexual repression, mid-life crises, & imaginary girlfriends. The art is fantastic. It is emotionally dense & powerful & thus hard to read in one sitting, but I see this as an asset rather than a deficit.

Out there
So I got about half way through this but did not finish. Was nice to see another side of Sam Keith and his artistic skill and views displayed here. This is a really odd book that is just out there, but at the same time uniquely a Sam Keith work. May go back to reread this at a later date, but for now I have set it aside. Would recommend for fans of Keith's work that may have not seen this before and see how this inspired his MAXX book which I believe was done many years after this one.
