I wouldn't recommend it to a friend, unless they liked rambling descriptions of places, moods and concepts. If you like getting lost in language more than plot, this'll be your sort of book. I almost tossed it aside midway. I think it could have been edited down to half its size, some parts of it so bloated with semi-poetic detail.

That said, some of it brilliant, and while this book took a long time getting forward in the plot, once it did it was quite enjoyable.
