There are two distinct groups of readers who’re bound to find Risa Green’s Projection a whole lot of fun: Fans of Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game, and fans of the website TV Tropes. Shepard fans—especially fans of The Lying Game, which, like Projection, has paranormal elements—will love the intrigue, the mystery and the drama, while fans of TV Tropes will enjoy identifying the various genre conventions that Green weaves together into a cohesive, entertaining whole.
The Plotinus Ability? For serious?

Yeah, all the way through, I was all, "Will CC love this book? Or want to punch it in the face?" For this non-Classics scholar, anyway, it was bananas-style, frothy fun.

I'm just... I mean... I've *read* Plotinus, and I am just totally gobsmacked. I mean, is it the ability to serve as a philosophical branch between Greek philosophy in the tradition of the Academic school and eary Christian theologians?
I will certainly have to read the book, if only for the WTF factor.

Nice guess, though. :D
OH. I don't remember if I mentioned it in the column, but he's an actual character in the book.
