“I like Kundera, very much so, but occasionally his decision to not use some of the standard methods of keeping the reader engaged (like creating an enveloping sense of the imaginary world) can really lose me. Especially if I don't feel that the philosophical stuff that he's engaging in is all that interesting, or when I feel that the sex with which he is trying to pique my interest lacks piquancy. Such was the case in this book. It will be one of very few books that I don't bother to finish.”
