Title: Don't read this book - unless ...
Product review: ... you like books that are dense, dark, confusing, modernist (post or otherwise), deep, ... you get the picture.The entire book, though wrapped around a very thinly set up mystery, is about the philosophical conundrum of how can people be just themselves. Is it possible? Is it desirable? What would such a life be like?This is not for light reading; and it's not a page turner. One of Pamuk's early works, it has moments of amazingly good writing - followed by moments of boring, inessential details. Overall, the former outweighed the latter making for an interesting if not too entertaining a read.
