Very long-winded, the mood of it made me crazy... wanted to shake the author and ask him to hurry up!

In my mail box yesterday. Thanks! Hope to start reading during Easter.

Saramango is an extraordinary author. I am a great fan, but I agree with Deepswamp that this novel is a bit too lengthy. I think it has to do with his way of writing; sometimes it is difficult to keep track of who is saying what. Long sentences with lots of commas and no ending. Still, I liked the book. A facinating plot and a surprize at the end.

PS: I forgot to say - the book came with three bookmarks. I'll keep one and send two on to share with the others.

On its way to notnot. Enjoy!!

This one may be a summer-vacation read; thanks!

This book has been in my book shelf way til long. Letting og go.
