braxwall's review against another edition
3.0
En studie i vansinne. Karaktärerna berör inte utan fungerar mer som rekvisita i meningslöshetens absurda teater. Det glimmar till ibland men det är för fragmentariskt och skruvat för att jag ska uppbåda intresse i dryga 500 sidor. Detta hade troligtvis gjort sig bättre på scen än som roman.

Disturbing. Confusing. And read during the worst quarter of my freshman year Humanities sequence at UChicago. So, overall not my favorite.

The passion for knowledge causes the world's disconnection—Canetti's first novel, written to exorcise his demons.

Sinceramente... è un libro pesantuccio, un pochino troppo concettuale per i miei gusti.
Non è esattamente difficile, solo che a volte i vaneggiamenti arrivano ad un punto in cui finiscono per essere un po' noiosi, ne intuisco il valore ma non posso dire di apprezzarli.
Consigliato: non esattamente.

Basically this book teaches you not to trust anyone, especially if you have a cool library, because they are looking to scam you
