What Members Thought
It started off as a four star book. The prose is nice and though I'm not much into stories about torturers, this one didn't focus on the job the character did. The problem is that the author later let the story degenerate into the standard Alice-in-Wonderland-style surrealism that I can't stand, basically making the story simply about one random-seeming encounter after another, each with the idea of being 'strange and wondrous', when what I like in stories is that they be realistic.

Probably one of the toughest scifi/fantasy reads I have done . I am sure I missed a lot but on the surface it was an enigmatic and kind of surreal experience.
