Helpful Score: 3
Rather than try to explain this book, I simply give it to friends and say "Read this!" Every one of them has been enchanted. It is so marvelously written that you find yourself stopping just to savor a particularly beuatiful line. It's a mesmerizing journey - impossible to categorize and full of imagery that stays with you. I can't think of a book I could recommend with higher accolades to any serious lover of good writing!
