Heard a lot about this book recently, guess I'm really behind the times as it turns out it was written in the sixties; it's very much in a style of those times, somewhat random stream-of-consciousness edge of fantasy freewheeling stuff. So for me its dated. I have read half of it when I had nothing better to grab my attention. It's entertaining but pointless as far as I can see. In general that is my criticism of fiction these days, there is so much real life that is more extraordinary and more engrossing, but that's just a personal thing. The repetitive names are hard to grab onto and remember if you are reading it casually,like me - way worse than a Russian novel, and it's not nearly as well constructed.
