Review of 'Strange Library' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A bit self indulgent

Every now and then you come across a literary project by a respected author that I don’t think would have been published had it been put forward by someone else. This felt heavy handed and self indulgent. I read this on Kindle, so possibly the material object version of this piece is more satisfying.
