2003-04-17 A little too long

Good old Theroux is on form with this work however one does begin to feel that there is perhaps too many pages about quite repetious themes during the book which leaves the reader somewhat bored with it after a while. It was certainly a challenge to carry on when I was about two thirds of the way through, however for dedicated readers of Theroux, they will certainly enjoy his talented and ever literary connections and prescient observations written as beautiful literary imagery.
