I agree with the people who loved this book. It is very original, it is different and it is very amusing. But I also agree with the people who didn't love it. The ending is bit of a let down. Some parts are repeated. Even though this is deliberate, I am not sure that it works. The main question is whether Kismet works. Still, if you are hesitating and like literature on the alternative side, I would say go for it. I think this is a book that deserves a lot of readers, though it won't suit all of them.
