Call me interested! Have you started reading it yet?
I've read it, just recently. I might write about it soon.
But I can't answer the last question. What do they say it is?
No, Stefanie, I have not started it yet, but plan to get to it in a couple weeks.
"They" are calling it, in sum, a "classic," but from what I can tell, not many people (even sci-fi-loving Russians) -- and I mean regular people, not critics, or book-obsessed bloggers -- seem to have read it.
I do hope you write about it, Tom.
All right, done! As usual, my focus is a little narrow. Please come over some time and tell people what I missed, or if I make a lick of sense.
