Librarian: As a librarian I feel like this is going to be one of those books that all of those of us who are professional readers love, and that we have an insane amount of difficulty convincing the rest of the world to even pick up. I mean, it's a gorgeous book. Beautiful prose, an interesting, if meandering plot, deep amounts of thought and symbolism. There problem is it seems to lack mass market appeal which might make it difficult to convince people to read. It's just too eclectic.
Reader: As I already mentioned, this is a beautiful book. Despite only having marginal interest in it going in, I found myself swept up in the story from nearly the first line. I did find it a little slow at times. The plot meanders a bit, spending time on details that can tend toward the trivial. But then, life os like that. And above all else, this is a book about life. The good, and the bad of it. It's a theme that speaks to the heart of who we are, and I enjoyed this wander through it.
