3.5
Such a dense book, two lives told side by side, and it all came out of a third man's brain... Impressive. But still, I kinda felt like I've read this one before, all the instant-and-forever-in-love and sex-with-prostitutes and French literature. Very Paul Auster, I guess. Also wasn't sure about the ending and what the book was trying to tell me. Good entertainment, I guess.
