Reviews

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

An homage to Nabokov's "Signs and Symbols", written in modern day language and in a more modern setting. Although it was easier to understand than the Nabokov story, I enjoyed it less. In comparison the modern style and modern setting was less enjoyable to read. However, it is probably more accessible to younger readers.
