Review- 'The man who was Thursday'.

The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare by G.K. Chesterton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An excellent novel, although not one I fully understood, particularly the final, magical realist sections. The language, plotting, and tone are very intense and engaging, which made it very enjoyable, even after I had lost the sense of what might be happening.
