The Sushi Prophecies is
- strange,
- humorous
Set in Vancouver amidst the hipster driven businesses of yoga studios, coffee shops, tapas bars, sushi restaurants, and nurseries, the story slowly reveals itself through the misadventures of Sebastien. Sebastien lives with a girlfriend that he doesn't love and in fact finds kind of gross and he manages a group of misfits at the neighborhood nursery where he sells fancy-pants plants to the locals. Strange things start happening when a bizarre unidentifiable plant arrives with his regular shipment of plants. He begins to suspect that he is somehow at the center of some mysterious plans being rolled out by nefarious folks.
The story was slow going for the first third or so of the book. There were humorous bits but I did ask myself a few times "what exactly is happening here? idgi". Maybe that was kind of the point? We were supposed to be as perplexed as Sebastien. Things picked up for me as we moved into the last 2/3 of the book.
