"I could see it every night for the rest of my life and probably still wouldn't understand it. Is the Queen of the Night a villaness or isn't she? Is she a she-demon and a witch, or is she "die sternflammende Konigin" {translation: the blazing star Queen}? The work is so fantastically confusing and contradictory that it's impossible to unravel." -Edmonde (in The Queen Of The Night)
The metaphorical dimensions in this book are absolutely astounding. It's so deep. This book is a GREAT read but it should have a disclaimer [it may be socially awkward at first]. It's only for those who can look past the surface and see a deeper meaning. The vocab is a bit demanding too. =) still, I would recommend this book to everyone who values life, but i know it can only be understood by "select few".
