Shannon’s Thoughts:


Hollis has just graduated from college but in no hurry to find a stable job. He seems to spend a lot of time sleeping or going on mischievous trips with his friends.

I like some of the characters and wish some of the relationships went deeper like Hollis and Xanth. They were interesting. They meet in a unique way. I don’t understand why he never talks to his friends about Xanth though. I would have read a whole book about Xanth and Hollis.

I had hoped for more with this book. Not much happens. The story builds in many places and then never pays off. It just loses steam and becomes a story about nothing. It’s like the Seinfield of novels.

If you are a fan of Catcher In The Rye then you will probably like Warp. Hollis is very like a modern-day Holden.
