Um ... I don't really know, to be honest. I mean, some bits were beautiful, moving ... others didn't touch anywhere near me. Lots of it was very predictable - I realise I am experiencing this thirty years later but still. I loved the fairytales. The ending I met with considerable boredom - I think I'd just had enough by then. I mean, it was worth a read, but ... I don't know, it just didn't gel. Much like this entry.

I really enjoyed this. I was concerned that it would suffer some awful, irreconcilable flaw that would entirely negate the delight I felt at its subject matter - but that wasn't the case (despite the worryingly A-level first line of the blurb - apparently there are lots of similarities between Blake and Nietzsche, AND lots of differences too! But I digress). This was extremely interesting, and worthwhile. I confess some parts of it went over my head, but I am more than happy to read it again and again until it all makes sense to me. This is fabulous.
