Negative Positive
Title: Yes.
Review: Yes, it's a great book. Yes, it's ridiculously complex. Yes, it's one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. Every character is made real; the only heroes are heroes in the simplest ways. We see into each character's mind in the most accurate depiction of the internal world ever written. It's chaos, but it's a chaos that is made sensible through the real eyes of a group of very real characters, all living their basically simple lives as heroically and humanly and mortally possible. They are people, they have flaws, they are real, part of our real world. It's an untouchable work of art.
