This book held me hostage this past week. I could read nothing else. There is so much substance to the story. It's very deep, heavy, and thought-provoking. The examination of the use of translation and language is astounding. I've heard it said this book is like reading a textbook. Perhaps it is a bit as students discuss the difficulties and theories about translating different languages. But it's also quite fascinating.

What really affects my review, though, is the pay off. (view spoiler)
