minsies 's review for:

Gnomon by Nick Harkaway
3.0

This is a huge weird mess but it's also pretty damn compelling most of the time.

The structure is fairly similar to Cloud Atlas - it opens all its stories before it starts to close them - but there's still a knot of unresolved stuff that has to be picked apart at the end. That isn't so successful, but I'm not sure there was a satisfying resolution to this weirdass monstrosity.

Cautiously recommended, especially by folks who have read something from Harkaway before, but if you're not very intrigued around the 50-page mark, best to move on to something else.
