The Familiar, Volume 1: One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z. Danielewski
4.0
At first I was like: "OK, let's give it a try". Halfway through, I thought "Fuck that, I'm never reading 27 of these". (English not being my first language, it takes me quite some time.) Now that I'm done, I know I'm going to buy #2. I'm still game.
I was really caught up in Anwar-Astair-Xanther's story. Others seemed less interesting (Luther and his gang bored me) or hard to understand (jingjing). I liked Shnorhk, the oddball, and Ozgur the detective. The other ones didn't leave me a lasting impression.
Overall I feel that I'd rather read only the parts that compel me. So I'm curious to see how everything will pan out and if the links will appear soon enough for me to go all the way.
