`This is one of those rare books that reminds you of exactly why you love reading...full of wry reflections on communication, loneliness and the power of the imagination.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Sunday Telegraph
`Egan has conjured a surreal and creepy contemporary horror story which
eerily veers between reality and fantasy.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Don't bother, 18 Mar 2008

By	Glasgirl (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Keep (Paperback)

It's not often I give up on a book but I'm afraid this book beat me. I just couldn't get into it at all. I found the jumping between the story set in the castle in Eastern Europe that is being written by a prisoner via a creative writing course very hard to get to grips with. The Eastern European plot was odd. I couldn't empathise with any of the characters. I'm afraid this book was a big disappointment.
