I am not really sure how I feel about this book. First of all, it was hard to get into after enjoying so much the book I read before this one. And while the premise of _Hawksmoor_ was quite interesting and its writing style and structure was quite different from anything else I have read, I just don't know why it took me so long to read such a short book. It was only 217 pages and it felt much longer! I think that I would like to re-read this book at some point though, because it certainly was entertaining, just very densely written. And it really reminded me of a movie that I saw a long time ago....
