Although I haven't included any major spoilers as such, I'd recommend reading Leviathan before you read any of its reviews or synopses at all, including this brief one. Go in blind as I did, and you'll get more from it I reckon.

Phenomenal. I never thought New York Trilogy could be topped but this blows it away. Never have I cared so much for a book's protagonist as I did for Benjamin Sachs.

Auster covers all his usual ground, weaving his story around writers, coincedences, private detectives, questions of one's identity, missing people, but never did I grow weary of such repeated themes.

This is the first book in a long time that I just wanted to last forever.

UPDATE

Having been the only book I've ever re-read immediately after reading it, I just read it a third time, maybe 5 years later. It's good, but didn't have anywhere the same impact on me this time.
