Quality German workmanship, I'm sure, but personally I thought it was tedious. It's just so repetitive. I can see how it could be considered poetic, but not enough to hold my interest.

Pausing for now. I really like the writing but I'm juggling a lot of books right now and something has to go. I will pick this up at a later date.

A bit uneven: some of the sequences really stand out, but others are somewhat inert. Innovative in concept, though.
