5.0

This is a FANTASTIC book. I read it in preparation for going to Crete in a few weeks. The lyrical, somewhat surreal prose is reminiscent of Umberto Eco. I love the story and the physical and emotional journey of the narrator/author. I'm not so sure how much of it was made up and how much of it was real, but, as the book states, that doesn't matter if the story is good.
