The story is interesting, but is ruined by the stereotypical personalities of the women in the story. The book starts out with an unnecessary scene with a prostituted women, which is annoying, and after that, every time a woman is described, she is some sort of male fantasy, all of them either women to be attracted to or repelled by. This lack of realistic women ruined the story for me. What an exuberant mess of a book! It galloped forward. So much happened. I mean, there is a sheer overwhelming flood of happenings in his book, assaulting the reader almost, at the pace of The Perils of Pauline, a series of "and-then, and then, and-then's"... I loved that something so well written and so thoughtful and so philosophically rich could also be jam-packed with action. Ridiculous and great at the same time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
