This sums it up for me - but maybe I started unwrapping too early
Not as radical as Hamlet, but I also found the book so-so. I was sucked in at the beginning, but the the repetitions started wearing thin for me. I read the Italian version obviously, but I saw the first three chapters on the Amazon's preview, and it looked to me a very faithful translation, so I do not think I got something in Italian that was lost in translation.
