Title: Pretentious junk with incomprehensible character repartee.
Review: This is, perhaps, the most pretentious bit of junk writing I've experienced since my college days. Continued reference to obscure religions, and Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and on words, always in italics, but never with definition or explanation. The repartee between and among characters is effectively incomprehensible because of the language as well as the context. And the plot line is about as muddled as could be, nearly impossible to follow because of the continued introduction of new characters whose presence in the story is never really explained. This is a book I've had trouble finishing and would recommend to no one.
