  Definitely one of the books of my life.
  It spoke to me, linking everything to everything else, inside and outside, with white strings made of words, with words made of feelings, with feelings made of everywaves, linking each nowhere to everywhere inside and outside.

  Very evocative

  I guess it's one of those book you love or hate because in the end it doesn't boil down to anything and it tells it all.

  I loved it.

• Alex's story is a bit interesting. But the letters and the other plots are boring. I can't help abandoning the book afte 30+ pages.
