I'll abstain from rating this book for no sooner had I started reading this book I made up my mind that it would do me good if I put aside this one until some uncertain time in the future. I still have to read quite a lot to be up to scratch for Ulysses. It's not an easy experience, logic alone won't help to discern what's happening, there's a long list of to-read books to be gone through before immersing yourselves in this one.
