Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World

Now here is a book that was recommended to me by Amilcar. It was interesting to say the least. The style of writing and narration was definitely different different from most books that I've ever read and while the story was not exactly original in any sense of the word. The book takes you for a ride.

It was very well written, not in the same way that Pride and Prejudice was. Pride was written in a beautifully archaic and flowing words while Hard Boiled was written with a a certain amount of precision - it felt smooth and polished.

The story was intriguing, kept the reader in the dark for well over half of the book and the ending wasn't much of surprise.

Not something I want to comment on yet, maybe need to reread it once in order to make a final judgement.

Update: No, this is a great book despite its craziness
