I like the political, philosophical and economical multi-aspect complexity of the book that becomes apparent more and more. I like the presented ideals on what makes man noble and courageous - and what does the opposite. I like that it gives me the feeling of watching an old black-white crime movie from the 40s or 50s. I like the alternative reality setting, the silent undertone of science fiction. I just love it all.
This is a great book both in size and content. Happy that I found it. If you do not know it, check it out.
I only wish they would have published it in two smaller volumes instead of just one big one.
