A Visible World - anyone read this?

[MrsMuddle]

I read this for my book group tomorrow night. I'm not sure whether I liked it. I found it very confusing. There were lots of Czech names, and I was never sure if they were places or people. And there was a lot of jumping about time-wise too.

However, I read it very quickly to finish it by tomorrow, and I was wondering if that's why I wasn't overkeen on it. It was very sad, and the writing was very precise, but it did read like a translation (which I think it was.)

I so wanted to like this book. Have I misjudged it? What does anyone else think?

BUMP

Has noone else read this pile of poo?

I've not read it but you made me laugh with your description of lots of czech names that were either people or places. I think that's a sign that the book might be a bit "over-written" and tedious. Hope the book group went ok!!

Poodlepusher, all seven of us that read it for book group hated it too - an all time record.

I knew it was a bad omen when I bought the book - I was in the queue, and the person behind me recommended that I didn't waste my money buying it, but got it out the library instead!
