This really summed up a lot of what I loved about this book

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/jul/29/summer-voyages-roberto-bolano-2666

Especially this -

"The book's longest section, "The Part About the Crimes" (300 corpse-choked pages), is a brutal masterpiece that indicts as shallow and nasty the many books that use rape and murder as little more than plot points. Michael Wood identifies this remorseless ordeal of violent death as "Bolaño's tour de force, and a piece of writing sufficient in its own right to give him good odds against oblivion". Because of the section's great length you will be moving through its hostile terrain for at least a couple of days, in which time the malignant force it generates infects the world beyond the page. It becomes an almost physical presence."

Was a slough, except when it wasn’t.

Baffled. Page long sentences. Drawn out-proved itself a little too slow of a burn for me.
