This story and clever alterations of it are a perfect base for existential exploration. Seems like a big return for a small investment.

I loved the book, I found it gripping and intriguing, but towards the end the novelty of the stories wore off. Especially as he veered towards the Iliad.

At times confusing and frustrating, at others mysterifying and haunting. A truly unique book that will cause you to reflect on your own memories, their truth, and the role you play in your own story.

I wasn't impressed. There were moments of brilliance, but overall, I was left wanting. So many of the stories bored me.

On the other hand, there were some great parts. It made me want to read the Odyssey again.
