The second read is definitely more interesting and makes more sense. I'm glad I watched the movie before my first read, this world is hard to get started in blind. Honestly, the new movies have done such a fantastic job following the book well and making it come to life!

The audio recording of this is well done, but I could have done without the constant background noise... it was pretty distracting. The full cast had several narrators that made a great performance, but it went back and forth between the "main" narrator doing multiple characters in a section, to those characters having their own casted narrator in other sections

Few books can leave their echo in your life like this dense, sprawling, esoteric novel.

How did it take me so long to pick up this novel. Great writing, great characters and a compelling story. A true 5 star gem.
