Bewertungen

both blunt and eloquent

(4 Sterne)

If one recalls the title the absurdity in the unfolding story has a clearer context. The moral and spiritual allegory is none too subtle. Not for everyone, fans of spy thrillers least of all who should look for John Buchan instead.

A wild, impossible to quantify, adventure.

(5 Sterne)

It’s a wild ride. It may be symbolic, possibly, but I can’t fathom of what. It’s fun, absurd, and frightening in parts. I love it and I hope you enjoy it too.

Extremely Boring!

(2 Sterne)

While this is a well read book, I find it extremely boring and far too drawn out.

bad audio

(2 Sterne)

aside from the background noise, the narrator whistles his s. Can't listen to that for hours.
