Really difficult to follow. Got the feeling Castro was dropping dozens of literary, cultural and historical references I just don't have the reading or experience to understand. Didn't care for the main character, Lucien, which kind of made the rest of the book a slog.
Found the verse at times playful and witty and at others too forced so as a reader had to work hard to understand what was going on and why.

I read seven cantos before quitting. I just didn't find the story particularly interesting and the form wasn't adding any interest to it either.
