Title: Felt like it was written for the author, not the reader
Product review: Like most of the other reviewers, I fell in love with Mythago Wood and have recommended it to friends for years.So I was very disappointed to find that reading Lavondyss is much like living it: once you start, you better be prepared for a very long, convoluted journey during which you will have no idea what is going on and probably end up old, gray and none the wiser by the time you finish.The undoubtedly powerful and primitive basis for the story loses most of its impact due to the rambling events and story structure.It felt very much as if Mr. Holdstock had entered his own rabbit hole and is so enthralled with the world he's created that he stopped worrying about narrative, reader enjoyment and such worldly matters.
