Title: A real disappointment
Review: After reading this book, I am very surprised that this author won the Nobel Prize. I did not find this book ingenious; I found it ponderous and laboured. The idea behind the story is intriguing, but the potential is never realized. The style of writing is such that the reader must really work to follow what is going on. In my case, the story and the protagonist were not sufficiently interesting to warrant such effort.
