Easier to read than Feersum Endjinn, at least! A Feersum Endjinn reading tip/hack: from what I recall (having done it, years ago), you can save time (and annoyance) by simply skipping the chapters with the phonetically-spelled journal of the mentally-challenged character, Bascule the Teller, and the story still seems to work just fine. You'll just want to remember that Bascule exists, though, so when he shows up -- way later, in the third-person -- you'll know who it is.
