Book two has some potential for storms, but still lolling along through the single-sentence ocean waves that force you to consider not only memory, but the divine in everything around you
hakimbriki's review against another edition
4.0
This was a compelling continuation of the story, as addictive and absorbing as the first installment. Here we encounter more characters, who may or may not a figment of the main character's imagination. It is clear enough that he is unreliable, but we aren't sure how just yet... I think. The ambiguity and anticipation is what makes this novel so exquisite. The narrative does drag in places, but never for long. The characters are fleshed out but appear as if they could dematerialize at any moment, in that the whole thing seems like a dream sequence. And that, my friends, is how you get my attention.

Reading these books is a spiritual, nearly transcendental experience.
