I had a strange experience with this one. I thought I would enjoy this one, but I didn't.

It was intriguing for a bit of the story, but that was about it. Weird narration right from the start, jumped from first person to third person, which was confusing (perhaps it was meant to be that way? I don't know).

Either way, not much to say here. There are lots of quotes from classics, so if you've read those, it could be interesting to catch those.

The main character Corso wasn't too likable. There are a few attempts to go into his history, but not terribly moving.

There is one character I'm intrigued by that, by the end of the book, still has a shroud of mystery hanging around her. I wish she was fleshed out further, but again, she may have been intentionally characterized as such.

Definitely a mystery with a bit of literature trivia. Not much of a thriller though, which is what I had originally thought it to be. Oh well.
