Review:
I have thought about how to rate this book for days, lingering between three and four stars, but in the end, it has ended up on three, which means that I read and enjoyed it.
The characters in this book are quite fascinating, though I didn't find all of them to be equally interesting. There are parts in this that I really loved, and other parts I thought were a little boring.
The writing in this is poetic, rhytmic and absolutely beautiful. It's quite striking. It's almost so poetic at times that the meaning gets a little blurry and it's sort of hard to understand.
And this is the problem I have with this book; I find it hard to understand the overall meaning, if there even is one. I'm not at all sure I grasp the full substance of this, or if it just flew over my head.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stream of conciousness as a form of telling a story, and enjoy poetic writing.
