I found this book to be rather interesting in the long run. I enjoyed reading the twists and turns of when he knew about things and when he didn't. I loved the way the author wove the words together. I guess there was just something about the way she made just about every reference and metaphor accessible to everyone who read the book. The things she wrote about and the way she wrote them in were just fantastic. I loved her little jaunts into the tangents of society and the way that she worked herself into the overall piece by using almost present day scenarios to make things have a bit more familiarity. I really enjoyed it so I would have to say that it does need to be added to your reading list if it hasn't already been read!
The next book I plan on starting tomorrow: The Caligrapher's Daughter
This book starts with the first few chapters about a Chinese girl who realizes that she does not have a name, and only just comes to think that it is an odd thing because of what others say. I've only gotten a few chapters in (while reading at a Borders @ a mall before dinner). I can't wait to see how this one goes.
I read a book a little while back, about a paper maker's daughter, but I don't think that was the title, or that the two books are conencted... I'm not sure what the title was, but I'll write a review of it when I remember it... Now, on to reading and such...
