    Intense and hypnotic5

    Wendy This book is like poetry. I can't say I've ever experienced such strong sensory feedback reading a novel before. I could see the streets, smell the smells.

    Towards the end of the book I became incredibly tense, barely able to breathe, anticipating what might happen to the characters.

    In some ways, this author seems like a Japanese Kurt Vonnegut in terms of writing style. This is the first novel of his I've read, but I'm about to start another.

    The aim of the book in many ways seems to be to leave you unsettled and questioning your understanding of the story. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love that sort of thing ;-)

    Don't read the ending just before sleep, you'll be up all night pondering the nature of reality (this is not hyperbole, it happened to me!) by Wendy
