Also its ability to say more than one thing at the same time. This is an excellent book – one that I can’t pretend for a moment excited me in the slightest but one that drew me into itself quickly and kept my interest.

Which is not to say that I didn't enjoy the review, I did. I also think I would enjoy the book. But the quote seems to me to invite a good bit of thought. An unusual book, well served by your review, I thought.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.com
