Wow, I loved this book, a real page turner. It started off kinda slow but the characters have real depth and you soon grow to care and really believe in them. I dont want to give too much away but I especially enjoyed the plot twist at the end, very clever. If you only have time to read one book this year, make sure its this one.

A masterpiece 5 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Sublime surrealist prose in the vein of Hugo Ball's cut-up poetry and Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons; sadly, like Van Dyke Parks, Rand's work was discarded as meaningless by his contemporaries who preferred sticking to a more formulaic approach.

Depressingly Brilliant 25 April 2006
Format:Paperback
This is surely the most depressing book I have ever read. I am an amateur historian, who has spent many years analysing history and watching it repeat itself... or at least that is what I thought. After reading this book it is obvious that what I perceived to be recurring patterns, were if fact just random events being repeated randomly.

As a result, I no longer read history with the same enthusiasm. On the bright side, this book is a wonderful testament to man's ability to think the unthinkerable. It also questions my sanity that I tried to read it in the first place!
