Reviewed by katai love it for being as it is, crazy absolutely 70ies like. i read it while being at university studiyng architecture, so it was great fun to read looking at it from the architecture perspective. 2017 i have reread it, the audiobook version narrated by Tom Hiddlestone, which is very well made and still as crazy as i remember from reading it all these years ago.
