The concept is an intriguing one but, for me, the execution wasn’t amazing. There were parts where I thought I perhaps would have understood or enjoyed it more if I were high. And, unfortunately for me, it was not bizarre/odd/weird in a good way. I picked this up after hearing so many glowing things said about it in reviews and from friends … none of those reviews highlighted just how bizarre/odd/weird this book is. My Rating of ‘Senlin Ascends’: 2 out of 5 And if he hopes to ever see his wife again, he will have to do more than just survive…this quiet man of letters must become a man of action. To find her, Senlin must enter the Tower of Babel – a world of geniuses and tyrants, of menace and wonder, of unusual animals and mysterious machines. So when he loses his new bride shortly after embarking on the honeymoon of their dreams, he is ill-prepared for the trouble that follows. Mild-mannered headmaster, Thomas Senlin prefers his adventures to be safely contained within the pages of a book.
