Loved the premise of this book, such a unique angle to have the plot have so much to do with the ethics of interpretation. I was hooked on the story since the beginning. It felt very original and unique.
There is so much clever writing, I often found myself laughing out loud or making notes of good prose. The characters are developed so well. I had a love-hate relationship with the main character, Ambrose Tweed. His personality really draws you in. Intriguing plot twists, romance, comedy, this book has it all!
