The Fifth Head of Cerberus: Three Novellas by Gene Wolfe
4.0
This book came highly praised by multiple sources. It wasn't what I expected though..
It is structured into three parts: the first part is very Alastair Reynold-like, the second reminds me of a psychedelic dream sequence (by a native people), the third is just Kafkaesque. All three are intermingled, and very identity-focused. This is a book that makes you think, so it's not something primary to relax to (good, that it's just 222 pages then).
The second part is of a style that I wouldn't (or shouldn't) like at all. It's a sign of a good book, that I still was able to plow through without noticing that "I shouldn't like it".
I am not sure what I have been reading, but I am enjoyed it.
