* MindScrew: Oh Lordy! Just to give one example: Wiki/TheOtherWiki concludes - based on the reviews written about the novel - that everything is [[spoiler: a drug-induced schizophrenic hallucination]], Matt Ruff's website claims in the FAQ tab that [[spoiler: the entire story plays in a massive Ant farm]] and the Origin tab on the same page says that [[spoiler: Jane is a extreme UnreliableNarrator and you have to guess for yourself what happened and what didn't]].

[[spoiler: Dixon is impressed in the end, because she had been evil without ever having one ''and'' is able to perfectly fake feeling guilty about her deeds, too]].
