If a reading helps you think and shows you so many things you probably didn't know before, most of the time it's a good one. At least in my case, now I see myself studying about the kabbakah and other topics I learnt with this marvelous novel.
By the way, I'm not a native english speaker. I read in spanish which was a very well done translation in my opinion. (less)
