I didn't hate it. I was greatly confused however. It would be a good book to discuss in a class or with friends.

If I were to reread this book in the future, I may understand it better. Therefore I could give it a higher rating.

City of Glass never fails to amuse. The graphics are amazing, it 100% illustrates the story, grabbing its madness.

If it was possible, I would have given this book minus hundred stars.
I had to read this for university, but no... No, no, no, no... Post-modernism is definitely not for me.
Probably the worst book I have read this year. Or maybe ever? Oh, God...

An interesting adaptation of the first part of Auster's New York Trilogy. I enjoyed this a lot, and the adapters found some interesting ways to express the internal thoughts of the novel. Full review here: https://annabookbel.net/paul-auster-reading-week-city-of-glass-the-graphic-novel

Too meta.
