Happy floating! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. And thanks for dropping in and commenting!

What an interesting concept to write about. It might be a challnege for me to read as well. I tend to tear apart everything I read in my mind. I might give this a try to see if I can also read it with an open mind. Great review!

This would be a challenging book to "tear apart." The sheerly esoteric nature of the novel would prevent any attempt to simply not make sense! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

It was interesting and very imaginative, especially once you got the hang of his system. I hope you like it as well as I did. Thanks for dropping in and commenting!

This sounds very unique. From the sound, I don't think I've read anything quite like it. In spite of the errors, it seems like a book worth one's time. Thanks for sharing with us.

The dream-style/ steam of consciousness writing in this novel sounds like it would make a great book. I also appreciate show vs tell writing, but the awkward sentences and wording would throw off my reading experience. Great review, though. You gave a lot of great insight about this book!

Although i'm not a great fan of romance novels, i like character driven novels. Your review was so good. Thanks for it.

I don't know if I am willing to float down a stream, but your wonderful review got to me. Very vivid imagery there!
