Review of 'The fall' on 'Goodreads'

I hardly survived the heresy and chaos of this work.

I did find a couple of good ideas though, it resonates a lot practically with everyone as it manages to describe you and no one at the same time.

Oh, and I came for the quote, the one about that scatterbrained woman and her patron cursed by boredom. I am still finding this short piece remarkable.
