This book did eventually do my head in!! I had read a couple of reviews stating how good it was, a classic, but it was not for me and I only persevered to around 1/3 of the way through.
The story tells of a man entering a bookshop and purchasing a book. When he gets part way through the book however he realises there is a printer's error and there are blank pages. He is given a replacement but finds the story does not continue and in fact he is reading a completely different story. Once again he returns to the bookshop and finds another reader, a women, who has a faulty book and they decide to track down the rest of the original story. The novel has chapters that are romance, adventure, mystery and believe me you need to be concentrating the whole time you read.
I felt like I was doing a workout at the gym reading this novel and perhaps it was too deep for me to understand fully. It's a book written in the second person with the reader being the main character.
Having said all this, I must admit I liked the first chapter. It described the process of getting ready to read your novel, the many positions, locations, frame of mind we find ourselves as we settle down to jump head first into your new book.
