The structure is fun and Nab's prose is enjoyably extravagant as usual. I don't think Shade's poem is great poetry, but it's perfectly fine as a vehicle for the novel.

Not really. Fantastic book though

I think Shade's poem has some very good parts. It's not amazing, but it's pretty good, and when you tie it in with the rest of the book it becomes incredible. The way the two communicate is just great. Kinbote's notes are also interesting in an independent fashion.
