review 1: Right, so I'm not entirely sure what happened here. This was... seriously weird. And I don't have a problem with weird. Weird is good. But it has to actually mean something- I felt like I was just reading random thoughts and images that didn't actually have any significance whatsoever. Maybe it's because I haven't actually been to Prague and that's why I couldn't relate, I don't know. It didn't work for me.
review 2: A difficult read for me but worth it. It is one of those description rich books with multi-page paragraphs and multi-line sentences. I came across it on a list of best Sci-Fi/Fantasy and while I can see why it was given this genre listing it is much more on the lines of a classic serious novel a la Kafka with philosophical musings, imagery for th... moree sake of images and exploration of language for the sheer joy of turning words. less
