No quite sure how to comment on this book; it was a long read for me, which is usually a sign that I didn't like it. In this case, I would say that it took me longer because it was a difficult read for me.

The author utilizes a book within a book conceit (at one point 4 regressions deep) that left me struggling to understand the overall thrust of the book.

In the end, I'm not sure if I understood what Crowley was trying to get across. I have 3-4 candidates for that understanding, but none is sufficiently clear to choose as the winner. I found the book to be a rewarding read, and one for which a book club-style discussion would have been helpful.

Christine You read the older edition, not the reissue? Did you read the whole cycle or just the first book?
