Title: hmph
Review: I wish I had read some of the negative reviews before I wasted time reading this book!This novel uses the "unreliable narrator," so presumably everything the protagonist describes is questionable--he apparently lives in a fantasy world, and the only explanation I can think of for why he hasn't been locked up yet is that perhaps he has so much money he's accepted as merely eccentric. But, really--why on earth are important people bothering to talk to someone who is obviously a childlike lunatic when there is a war going on? It's just too implausible, even if you accept that what he narrates is part fantasy, and that civilization itself is crazy in wartime.The initial setup of the story is good, and the idea of using an unreliable narrator for it is OK--but it's poorly, poorly handled.
