This is one of the most difficult books I have read. When reading it I struggled at points to follow it but the last paragraph of the book made perfect sense and I realised that it was possibly the way it was intended. A few years after reading this I am still perplexed by this novel.

How good can a story be if you struggle to read it but then are left unable to stop thinking about it. I have come to the conclusion that Peter Straub is one of the best writers I have read. I recently read A Dark Matter and believe this is also an excellent novel.

Like so many good books that are challenging to read you only get out what you put in. This is worth reading.
