For a book I finished reading and realised I had no idea what had happened, I found myself very enthralled by this.

It reminded me of a mix of House of Leaves, Hard-Boiled Wonderland, and Pale Fire. The narrative style is easily the most original and interesting I've ever read; it sounds silly, but Calvino's incredibly long winding sentences really added something to this..I remember reading something about how the style of Foucault's Pendulum was meant to confuse the reader to make them feel included in the conspiracy; something similar here.

I think if I was better versed in the philosophy, history, literary *stuff* that's clearly here I would absolutely have loved this, but I still found it a very neat read.

Also, one of the best "OHHHH" ending moments.
