i once had a dream, but never mind, it is what it is (don't get me wrong, this book is delightful—specially the first half—just not for me).

ericbuscemi's review against another edition

3.0

I listened to an audiobook version of this novel. I enjoyed listening to it, and don't understand all the extremely negative reviews for it on Goodreads. By no means is this an instant classic, but it was interesting allegorical story. The writing style reminded me of [b:Candide|19380|Candide|Voltaire|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1345060082s/19380.jpg|2833018] in a way, possibly because both were translated from romance languages?
