Horror Novel? I thought it was a light-hearted piece of metaphysics. Surely it's more 'Star Trek' than 'Misery'.

I would have lent this to any child capable of understanding it without the slightest worry until I read this comment. Now I'd worry very slightly. Am I a bad person who shouldn't lend books to children?

The basis you use to reason about the universe, at its core, is wrong. The universe is in truth random.

Yeah it's a horror novel.

Read Ultimate Meta Mega Crossover for a fix fic that tries to repair the damage.
