I enjoyed Kehlmann’s different takes on identity and storytelling. There’s some criticism that his writing feels a little too much like forced intellectualism and I can understand where it’s coming from, but Kehlmann really shows his talent as a writer. The only chapter I found really tedious was the online blogger, simply because his language was so obnoxious, but other than that it’s an easy and fun read.
