{"product_id":"the-whole-john-reed-9780743485012","title":"The Whole","description":"From John Reed, author of the controversial Orwell parody, \u003ci\u003eSnowball's Chance, \u003c\/i\u003e comes a subversive satire of modern culture, the complete lack thereof, and a lost generation that no one even tried to look for. \u003cbr\u003e In the middle of America's heartland, a young boy digs a small hole in the ground...which grows into a big hole in the ground...which then proceeds to drag the boy, his parents, his dog, and most of their house into a deep void. \u003cbr\u003e Then, as abruptly as the hole started growing, it stops. \u003cbr\u003e So begins the first in a series of events that takes the beautiful-if-not-brainy Thing on a quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious Hole. \u003cbr\u003e Inspired by visions, signs, and an unlimited supply of pink cocktails served by an ever-lurking \"Black Rabbit,\" Thing and her dogged production crew travel around America, encountering Satanists, an Extraterrestrial\/Christian cult group, and a surprisingly helpful phone psychic. Their search for answers could very well decide the fate of the world as they know it. \u003cbr\u003e But the more Thing learns about the Hole, her shocking connection to it, and the mind-boggling destiny that awaits her, the more she realizes that human civilization isn't all it's cracked up to be -- and that it's just about time to start over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Reed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743485017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743485012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MTV Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.11w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2004 pg. 1066","brand":"John Reed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457706602751,"sku":"9780743485012","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffaac2d6-b8d2-45cc-afa6-3ae189d938cb.jpg?v=1777400575","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-whole-john-reed-9780743485012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
