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?
Rick B I'm not a fantasy fan nor scifi fan at all..BUT, I enjoyed this book. Without a doubt it's not a read for everyone.

It's deep, and I found myself flipping back a lot to make sure I was understanding what was going on. WIth that, it does all fall into place so give it time. Sorry, I did NOT like All the Light at all. I know I'm in the minority here but while I loved one half of that book with the French girl, her father, the stone, etc...I did NOT like the other half surrounding the German boy in a Hitler youth camp focusing on radios, and soundwaves etc...Because of that, I hesitated reading Cuckoo as it was the same author and much longer. Not to worry..it was worth it. Loved every character and even those beyond characters. The story was incredible, and how the author connected all of them, and time frames from ancient Greek to space...simply amazing! Read it! (less)
