Read this in June 2012
I found this book to be fascinatingly weird and compulsive. This was a very good novel but probably not the great work of art that many critics exclaimed it to be. Yes, it is literature and yes I did enjoy reading this book. It was complicated and the plot did always resolve the many loosely interconnected plot lines but it did keep me coming back to it despite the bleakness and somewhat depressing characters. It is also considered long, ambitious and unfinished. And compelling.
This was Bolano's last book and supposedly he died right after sending this to his publisher.
