A thoroughly good, nonsensical story. You can read it ten times and find something new, or find yourself entirely lost.

Heavy on symbolism. If you like characters that at least behave plausibly, this is not the book. Nice, but rather childish try to personify the 7 days of Genesis. Yes - I know it's all symbolic, satirical, and supposed to be the first "spy" novel, but I found it rather boring. Would be good as a book to be analyzed by high-schoolers.

If anyone gets past the first forty pages of this book, please tell me what the joke was.
