I really didn‘t connect with this book. I enjoyed some of the amusing descriptions and passages, but overall felt the story dragged and the ending was somewhat slapdash. Several of the characters didn‘t feel fully realized so that I‘d get confused over who did what, and there were some particularly problematic character actions for me. This edition is beautifully designed though. 1/5 #novemberreads #specfic

There is this bookstore in Victoria, BC where I tend to find a lot of different books. Most of them don‘t disappoint. This story was strange, absurd and a blend of genres. I enjoyed it even if i didn‘t like how the mystery was solved. I gave it 4 stars.

Very neat little book! I picked it up on a whim and for something translated from Russian it reads very well. Totally enjoyable and quite quirky. The Deus ex machina ending however left something to be desired, but it still wrapped up well.
