Ben M. asked this question about Cloud Cuckoo Land:
I want to read this but am hesitant. I am not a huge fan of the fantasy genre. I always have a problem following along. I don't want to invest both the money and the time (600+ pages!). I'd love to hear feedback on what you think?

This book of course is a mix of history and from where I am looking not quite fantasy but certainly futuristic. It is not an easy book to read and after the first 100 pages, I came back here to see reviews and decide if I wanted to continue and am glad I did continue. I had to work hard to keep the different story line flowing along. I would not invest the money (I borrow the audiobooks from my local library) but in the final analysis, the time is worth spending especially since I listen to the audio books on my walks or while gardening, driving or cooking. I did have to rewind a lot especially since the story lines switch very abruptly and it took my mind a bit to adjust to the fact that the story line had switched .(less)
