I have journeyed through this Confusion for a month thinking I should be reading something else. The book is a piece of baroque in need of major editing. While there are a few imaginative places scattered throughout, it lacks prolonged life overall. If you thought Quicksilver was a wonderful book, then you will enjoy the Confusion, I suppose. If reading Quicksilver was as much fun as walking knee deep through parasite infested muck, you won't find the traveling in The Confusion any easier.
