amuroraybans 's review for:
Gnomon
by Nick Harkaway
In many regards I thought this book was brilliant, conceptually unlike anything I’ve read before, moments where I couldn’t believe what I was reading but still could picture it, and sections of writing that could stay stuck in my mind all day. On the other hand, I found the majority of this novel to be over written and filled with obtuse sections that tended to fly way over my head. I don’t believe I was the best reader for this book, but I did enjoy myself and am glad to have read it. I still cannot quite comprehend what happed in the Gnomon sections of the book or who/what Lonnrot was, but quite liked being inside the minds of sex-fueled mathematical genius Kyriakos and old man painter visionary/video game designer Bekele.
