Another well-written critique, Blake. I haven't read any of Safron Foer's stuff yet, but this has definitely caught my interest.

Same here. I've heard of this writer but I had no idea what this book was about - thanks. It does sound challenging, not to mention long, but I wouldn't mind reading it. I'm curious though, what is the fantasy element of this book? It wasn't really clear, and it doesn't sound like YA either.

whoops, think I saw "1785" as the number of pages! (368pp isn't all that long, after all!!) Have you really read that many books this year?? Sorry for the scepticism, but...really? Impressive!

Um... that "1785" is the total number of PAGES this year. Out of a total of ten books.
