overall, i can say that i did like it quite a bit. not one of my favorite novels, but its better than most of the novels i have ever read.

my main critique on it, and this is in the most general sense, is that the length seems to be an issue. i'm impressed that, for the most part, the quality of writing does stay fairly consistently good throughout. having said that, there were however times that bored me somewhat, but those times were more than made up for with the parts that i found particularly interesting: namely the parts that dealt directly with art and philosophy. and these golden nuggets are scattered generously throughout the writing.
