Lots of philosophy
Descriptions lacking/over done
Obvious but ok
I saw a lot of reviews rating this book quite highly so perhaps that is why I feel it was lacking. The main character is believable and I do love all the various storylines. I like the description of the library, I felt like th cover on my copy left less to the imagination though.

Perhaps this was the point but the story was very obvious. I'm not a philosophy fan so maybe it was supposed to shadow a philosopher?!

Some parts I felt were over described and frankly quite boring. Whereas other parts were lacking in description. Plus I don't think the final couple of chapters were neccessary, certainly the penultimate one.

The copy I have was the perfect hard back with good sized text and spacing.
