This book is a challenging read. Brilliant prose throughout that creates an amazing array of characters yet an underlying feeling of existential detachment. Not sure who I would recommend it to but can't say I didn't enjoy it

This book is a modern masterpiece but it's by no means an easy read. Persist at least until page 300, read a little each day and you'll be rewarded.

Hard to read, but we'll worth the journey. Probably my favourite book ever
