What are you reading that delights you so?. A nearby passenger was intrigued and said: “I noticed you so lost in your book I was worried if you’d miss your stop. This actually brought about a fun encounter on a public bus one day when I was lost in my book and all of a sudden exploded into laughter at a line. The author is quite funny, and a few line actually brought on rather raucous and spontaneous out-loud laughing for me. But, beware – the humor, delightful as it is, is merely one small sideline of a very very different sort of novel.īefore the spoilers: Some fun passages which won’t spoil anything: I will site some of my favorites of these to potential readers as sort of a lure into the novel. However, the one thing that tended to be CONSISTENT throughout the novel, perhaps the only thing, was the humor of some of the narrator’s comments. However, if you wish to read a quite amazing book, one of the more astonishing stories I’ve read in ages, then STOP READING these notes at the warning sign below and read the novel itself. Thus, what follows is first a very few SENTENCES about the novel. That’s sort of the decision I’ve finally made, but the more I attempted to say “little” about the book first, the more and more I had to reduce it. I first thought I would write a few things about the overall novel, and then put a huge warning: SPOILER and write what I have to say. I can hardly say anything about the book without it being a spoiler. This is one of the most difficult books to write about which I have ever read.
