aylart 's review for:
Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid
by Douglas R. Hofstadter
This book was... a challenge. It is either an intricately woven tale, written by a brilliant mind, who tries to guide his readers towards new insights and epiphanies, or, the ramblings of a pretentious graduate student who takes well over 700 pages and uncountable digressions to never actually get to a point. The book did receive a Pulitzer, so I must believe the former to be true. However, I found myself enjoying the book less and less, even resorting to skipping bits and pieces (very unusual for me!) to finally get it over with.
