Going Bovine by Libba Bray

I picked this up at the Scholastic Warehouse sale when shopping with the bottle return money.

Um...this was an acid trip and a half.

I honestly have no idea what to make of it.

Short synopsis: Cameron, a C+ish stoner with an uber popular twin sister, has the human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease.  He's going to die and is declining rapidly.

Now, here comes the acid trip.  He's being guided on a save-the-universe and himself mission by a guardian angel with a candy addiction, a dwarf (sorry if that's not the correct term anymore) who is a germaphobe, and talking garden gnome who is a Viking God entrapped.  And the ultimate battlefield to save humankind is in Disney World...behind the scenes of the It's a Small World ride.

I had a lot of trouble keeping straight what was happening--in truth I don't know even now what was real, what was a hallucination, and what was symbolism masked as hippies going bowling.

Weird, weird, weird!
