Non-spoilerish first impression of AtD on Modern Word site

[Mike Beiderbecke]

Well,

    I have read slightly more than twenty-five pages.
    All the hallmarks of what we (or at least I) have come to love about TRP
are there. Weird names, strange songs, frustrating allusions (fact or
fiction?), long paragraphs, ellipsis, long shaggy-doggish things that lead
to horrible puns, et cetera.
    Closer in style to GR than his other novels, but at the same time
incorporating elements that have appeared in his writing both pre- and post-
GR.
    Perhaps best summed up, IMHO, as a progressive knotting into.....

Regards,

Mike
