The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton
4.0
This book has proven to be a wonderful reading experience. I loved the mystery, the confusion and the structure. I haven't researched all the lunar references in the books (like the chapter titles and all) but I found it a great idea that adds more yistery and mysticism to the tale.
Although the book is fairly long (more than 800 pages) I never once found myself bored or tired. It is true that some parts can be a bit repetitive, but in the end they always add new perspectives and data to the plot, so they don't result boring at all.
The writing style is quite peculiar, very eccentric, but really really beautiful.
I would highly recommend it!
