fschmidt2001's review against another edition

challenging dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I loved this book from start to finish, it had so many insane moments that made it an incredibly interesting read from start to finish - my only criticism is that I wish the ending was a little more flushed out, but the author literally died so thats not even valid criticism. One part I REALLY enjoyed was the descriptions of Archimboldis writing style, and how it almost replicates the style 2666 was written in.
