Have only read the first forty pages, but already enjoying the aesthetic and style of this particular work of speculative fiction. In fact, I find the prose in this book more palatable than something like Solaris, for example. Been on a bit of a SF novel binge after reading 2001 A Space Odyssey for the first time about a month ago.
