There is so much I wish to say about this book, but I simply cannot form the words (Trust me, I've typed and retyped this review many times). You'll have to take my word for it when I say Babel has made me rethink everything I thought I knew about the languages we use every day. It is not only a retelling of the translators strike, but of the original tower of Babel, a testament to how mankind's greed and aspiration for power and glory leads only to its destruction.
