Highlight to see spoilers: A shaggy dog story, or at least, a shaggy tiger story. Uninteresting and tedious though technically sufficient. Am I supposed to be moved by what I construe as the investigator getting god or imagination or something or other at the end? Am I supposed to be blown away by the pop philosophical "which truth do you prefer?" trope at the end? A tremendous waste of time. This made me take several popular novels back off my wish list.
Please don't bother arguing with me (though you're welcome to disagree). I'm describing my reading experience, which is that this was right down there with The Alchemist.
