Ten stars out of five. My favourite book, utterly spectacular. Opened my eyes to what a novel could do and be, and raised my expectations of fiction in general. It is certainly not, however, easy going. But undoubtedly worth every bit of the effort!

Abandonado ao fim de 200 páginas. Depois de ter sofrido com a leitura de A piada infinita, não fui capaz de repetir a proeza. O regresso não fica prometido.
