Review title: Not good ...
Product review: Given all the rave reviews (which is partly why I read the book in the first place) I wanted to give a contrasting view. I found the style of the narative tiresome. There are not many paragraphs and you are left to work out who said what as the character's dialogues follow on from each other with little to distinguish them from each other. This you get used to. But it certainly didn't add to the reading experience. I thought there was very little humour in the book, and the sentences quite laborious. Maybe this is the fault of the translator. The idea behind the book is interesting. But I felt little really came out of it. There are glimpses of insight but this is not comprable to 1984, animal farm, or brave new world. But hey ... read it and make up your own mind.
