WOW! I loved this book - so clever and original. It's a series of interlocking stories, set in different times and places, with subtle connections between them. I never wanted it to end! One of my top 10 books of all time. Here's my full review:

I can't deny the technical merits of this book-- but I crawled through it and kind of think I deserve course credit or something now that I'm finished! Maybe the themes of power and oppression, repeating themselves across time, will resonate better after I have time to digest the book?

Bardzo, bardzo dobre. Tak dobre, że może znów podejdę do "Snu numer 9", który mnie zmęczył i uśpił. Napisane z rozmachem, błyskawicznie wciągające, przyjazne czytelnikowi, proszące się o ponowne przeczytanie. Tak dobre, że zapaliłem w moim kościele świeczkę w intencję rodzeństwa Wachowskich i Tykwera, żeby tego nie spieprzyli, bo na razie z trailera zrozumiałem, że to film o Tomie Hanksie zakochującym się w Hale Berry po wielokroć, w różnych epokach. Co jest też bardzo ładne, ale nie o to przecież tu chodzi.

A very good book! The writing style was very interesting, and it was a neat way to structure a story. My only complaint is that the middle chapter, the narrator's dialect is really annoying to read. I would have enjoyed something closer to traditional English, but with new words scattered through.
