Review: [If the following is to make any sense, you should probably read my Ten Obstructions "write-off" announcement before continuing. Unless you are of sound mind and stout heart, what follows will come across as more convoluted and less sensible than...

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended character piece with a creative take on living-well and dying-well
