The book flowed easily enough in terms of words but occasionally it found itself flowing a very confusing path.
I noticed a few times that I was reading the same thing again or that characters would change names and I am still unsure whether this was intended by the author or whether it was just my own lack of attention that led to this.
It has some great philosophical points , and some marvelous quotes. However. It is not a book to read if you are looking for any kind of plot and resolution. I found it helpful afterwards to read explanations of the book.
