I was a a bit wary myself because I'd heard the same but it's just one of those books that I felt I had to read eventually.

How'd you like is Adidasss?
So far so good, I'm 150 pages in and it's been a very engaging read. I got used to the archaic language very soon (it's not exactly 15th century English). I'll report back once I've finished...

Also, I just ordered a bunch of dirt cheap books from the American Amazon! I lovez the dollar being so low...

Well, I've finally finished it and I have nothing but praises and superlatives for it. Absolutely fantastic read. It's so complex and multilayered, I can imagine spending an entire year dissecting it in English class. Definitely one of the best books I've ever read.
