I really hated the incest part....still can't see what the point of that was.

I keep meaning to though. I do like the sound of the multilayered storyline in this one. I’ve never read Auster. I keep meaning to though.

Perhaps Auster is an acquired taste. I read his first several books as they came out and can't get enough of him. I just enjoy his writing, even in Invisible. Thanks for an honest review though.

I've read Oracle Night, and Travels in the Scriptorium and can honestly say I disliked those books. IMO, his writing is just too strange for my taste. So I guess I could understand how you felt about his latest book, without even reading it. Paul Auster is one author that I have problems with.

It wasn't all bad - I enjoyed parts of it. I agree Annabel – I’d rather read a less good Auster novel, than many other novels. It wasn’t all bad – I enjoyed parts of it.

Admittedly, I'm a huge Auster fan - I love his trickiness, and personally think even his less good ones are better than many other novels.
