iamtheeggman's review against another edition
Right. Yes, it's very clever. BUT AT WHAT COST. Honestly think this book would have been far more impressive, and enjoyable, if it was at least half the length, if not shorter. The only bits I could get into and enjoy was the actual murder mystery plot point. You know, the story. I spent most of the book super confused and lost, or rolling my eyes at the endless lists that seemed to be there just for the point of showing off and added words. Got half way through before remembering life is too short. Added a star because you can't deny the technical impressiveness.

Tremendously interesting as a writing and translating exercise, but not exactly good.
superpraskova's review against another edition
Barely readable, I was curious about the hugely famous « La disparition » but the story is barely a story, it’s just disturbing, mazed, and boring

une performance littéraire fabuleuse, mais malheureusement l'histoire en elle-même n'était pas aussi captivante...
