Once the blind man sees, he cannot continue living in his imagined world. Twenty-one-year-old narcoleptic Angel Duet knows that her father, Frank, harbors secrets. But she doesn¿t know that her entire life has been anchored around lies. Frank¿s suspicious refusal to discuss the past and his girlfriend¿s sudden removal of the series of treasured photographs that have hung in the Duet¿s foyer for more than twenty years causes Angel to become obsessed with searching for mysteriously guarded answers about her mother¿s death. As she struggles to learn the truth and gain control over the narcolepsy that often fogs her world, Angel is exposed to new friends, co-workers, and lovers who introduce her to a dizzying realm of adultery, drugs, and homosexuality that further obscures reality. To truly awaken, Angel must accept a truth she could never have dreamed up. Once she does, she realizes that sometimes the gifts we receive are not what we want¿and only in time do we see their worth. ¿Ms. Przekop has not only accurately captured the hallmark symptoms of narcolepsy and their presentation, she has created a character that is both self-aware and self-accepting of her disorder and the way it has shaped her life and decisions.¿ ¿Narcolepsy Network, www.narcolepsynetwork.org… (más)

I enjoyed Aberrations. The characters are compelling and seem real. The storyline keeps you interested until the very end. My main complaint with the book is that I think it tries to do too much at once. It attempts to address narcolepsy, schizophrenia, homosexuality, single motherhood, adultery, etc. all in the same story. With so many important topics, I feel as if some of them aren't done justice. That said, its still a very interesting read. ( )

A great read! Aberrations is the story of Angel Duet a young, narcoleptic woman searching for truth. It is a story of forming and ending relationships, of disability, and of love. This book is full of interesting twists that will keep the reader hooked from the first to last page. Would make a good choice for a book club selection. ( )

What I found most enjoyable about this novel was the exploration of the need for truth. Ms. Przekop makes good use of the idea of being trapped by lies - almost everyone in the novel is harmed by the lies they live with. Watching Angel "wake up" enough to begin to recognize the lies, and become transformed through her journey to truth was enlightening. And I liked that Carla wasn't the "evil stepmom" but the agent for introducing truth. This is a "southern" novel, and some of the vernacular was intrusive for me - I kept being surprised by "thang". Also, I was uncomfortable with Angel's thoughts that a baby would make everything different - that she would have someone to fill that "mother" need. Too many girls have babies to "get" something, instead of "give" something. Fortunately, Angel has a good support system to make sure her baby is well-cared for. My copy has a great set of book club questions. ( )

I would definitely recommend this book! I usually read Young Adult lit, but I really enjoyed Abberations. The story is unique and the characters are complex. Everytime I thought I had the story figured out Przekop threw me another curve ball. It was an excellent read, I couldn't put it down! ( )

This book reminds me of one of the readings I had to do in university. A lot of symbolism, self-discovery and meaning to the storyline. And here's the shocker (for some anyways): I actually enjoyed it! Okay, no jokes though, Aberrations was a good book. Angel Duet suffers from narcolepsy and if you don't know what it is, Angel herself explains it a few times in the book. There has obviously been a lot of research that allows for these amazingly real descriptions of what Angel experiences from day to day. The emotion of Angel's narration is raw and open. Readers will love how she goes on a journey to find the truth and you can't help but obsess about the truth too. When you finally get it, you find that it is a bit shocking. Sometimes the entire truth may not be that great to hear, no matter how much we say we want it. Either way, go find the book someone and give it a read. It's something that definitely gets you thinking and it's a beautiful, descriptive read for anyone. ( )
