I really never got on with Jago. The original just annoyed me, the new edition bored me because it was over-long and pretentious. I'd say it's his weakest novel.
It's definitely not in the Anno Dracula or Professor Moriarty league, and although it wasn't exactly gripping me, I'd think "I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this" but realising I've just demolished 80 pages since I last looked, I persisted with it. I really did like the two alternate universe stories.
