I am pretty neutral on this book so far. I assumed it would be a difficult read due to the Blake references, but the First Look went quickly and didn't require any literary analysis (unless it was just completely over my head!). It could be interesting, but I'm a little concerned about the "drug-induced dreams, poetry-charged lovemaking, offbeat philosophical discussions, and much, much more" that is promised to come... Since I am not too familiar with Blake, and given the length of 576 pages, the First Look has not convinced me enough to embark on this journey.
