I made it to the end. I will read the next book in the series but I'm not rushing.

I am still finding this book difficult. The overall story is interesting and unpredictable but it takes the author a long time to say it. The prose are excessively wordy and repetitive. The characters are all complex to the extent that so many people, all being so complex is unbelievable. However it is interesting to see the interplay of conflicting ambitions.

I'm getting quite into this book now. The story it's interesting, but I can tell it was written in the seventies hippie era. The drug scenes are long and tedious and appears to be written by someone who enjoyed a drug induced trip or to and feels compelled to try to recreate them in writing, in minutiae, for their readers, loosely ascribing them to their characters. .

I'm starting to get into this book now. I'm glad I persevered and am looking forward to seeing how the plots within plots all pan out in the end.

I loved book one, book 2 I found a bit boring but let me know what happened after. I'm a quarter of the way through book 3 and literally nothing has happened yet.
