Reader Reviews:


3/5 stars

I didn't understand this book at all (1/9 people found this helpful)

I found this book very hard going and difficult to follow. I only really began to understand what was happening at the end, which these days would have been seen as a cop-out. I think the clue as to what is happening is the word "expressionist" in the introduction. I'd be interested to see how it was turned into a film.

5/5 stars

One of the best works of fiction ever written! (9/12 people found this helpful)

This is an incredibly atmospheric book with a most powerful sense of place. It captures the strange thought patterns of dreams and is utterly captivating. Read it!
