Read this several years ago and enjoyed it but upon re-reading the first few chapters it just felt pretentious. 

Great read but I was left with too many unanswered questions!!!!!

Невероятно прекрасное описание Греции, люблю это произведение всей душой! 


Epic in so many ways & on so many different levels.
I will definitely need to re-read this one as I’m sure I missed several of its many messages but like the main character Nicholas Urfe - once I started this “experiment” I just couldn’t stop.
An outstanding literary experience.
