Since the book is layers of surprises, I find it a bit hard to write a review without spoilers. So I'll cut to the chase and say that the book is fun, but not bubble-gum--you need to pay attention.
You always do with Gene Wolfe's books. I got stuck in There Are Doors (I suppose I should start it again), but I've liked all the rest I've read. He stretches your mind a little, and there are often things you only notice on re-reading.
UPDATE: Yes, after I slept on it I recalled two more points that hadn't been explicitly solved, and which change the nature of the ending somewhat.
