Title: too clever by half
Product review: If you like post-modernist deconstructionism then this is the novel for you! After reading each page you will be able to sigh and say This author is so clever! And I the reader must be pretty clever too to be enjoying such a clever author. So we all win! Myself, I thought that Calvino's If on a stormy night was better, as these post-modern deconstructionist novels go - it really turned everything upside down and inside out. I found this novel pretentious contrived and ultimately boring. The author spends a lot of the time discussing what the characters are thinking and a lot of the time philosophizing. Too much head stuff altogether. It is clear that many readers are enraptured by this novel, but definitely not all of us. An acquired taste!
