Heartsnatcher.

Has anyone else read this book?
It was hard to understand at points. And I'm just wondering,
did the little kids have magical powers or was that just me not undertanding the moral?
And also, if you have read it,
Didn't you just love the aspect of Glory Hallelujah? I loved that.
But tell me about these magical powers.
I didn't get it. And also, what was happening with the butcher and the robot? And how did that play into Clemintine acting strange at noon everyday?
I don't know. I thought it was a good book but maybe it isn't. I mean I didn't really understand it.
So tell me what you think.
