Summary: Very interesting book
Comment: I find this book highly intersting, perhaps because I can sympathize with the "hero" (?) Peter Ibbetson/Gogo Pasquier in his longing to regain the innocent pleasures of childhood, cought up in a world he cannot understand and suffering from "Weltschmerz". However the book does contain racist and antisemitic remarks of Ibbetson, so some people might feel offended. One should bear in mind though that Ibbetson - as alienazed as he may feel - is the product of the Victorian society - and not take his lack of understanding/tolerance/... too seriously. I only give the book 4 stars because ther is one ryther boring section: fter he has finall (re)found his true love, they go off on a number of bizzarre trips to past times. I just have the suspicion tht the author didn't know what to do with them after he had brought them together... But I would certainly reccomend this book - but not to lovers of logical murder mysteries or hopeless realists. You have to be a bit eccentric and crazy to enjoy this one....
