It's pretty darn good! Have recommended to a pretty broad swath of folks. The frame story works well.

Disappointing after the first two books. It does deliver on being weird, but the structure didn't hold together nearly as well, and got too woo-woo. If you loved the first two, i'd probably recommend avoiding the later two so your hopes aren't crushed. (this is reviewing both of the second two books)

Had high expectations and it lived up to it.
Shelved All the Pretty Horses · Finished
Finally finished after more than a year of slow reading. All around great, surprised how modern it felt and how easy the text went down (not stiff/formal). The reasons I would not recommend it are because it is /weird/, not because it is old or uninteresting.
