Light Light Light
by M. John Harrison
by M. John Harrison
I want to know what book the blurb is describing because it has nothing to do with the book I just read. Light is a very confusing book with three plots taking place in two time periods, 400 years apart. It's quite poetic, but not very comprehensible. Around page 200, I had to go back and re-read chapter one. It reminded me of something by Tim Powers. Having finished, I don't think I could really tell you what this book was about. All the story lines do come together, but it's just weird. I think it's one of those books you need to read twice to "get".

I can't tell yet. I'm 52 pages in and it's jumping around a lot. I can't tell if there's going to be a unifying element or not. Maybe it's the big yellow ducks.

Hope that helps...(this said, I have not read this particular title; and I do admire the man's talent, unique as it is)
