Wander through the extraordinary labyrinthine plot on you own - the way is yours to discover. I can be real stubborn about putting off what is good for me!! Cortazar's imagination is boundless, his prose rich and luminous, his wit and sophistication rare, the dialogue brilliant, the plot.I won't attempt to describe that with a few adjectives. I read Hopscotch over the period of one summer, after a thirty year delay. Julio Cortazar will take you to places you have never been before in literature, and may never experience again. So, be willing to make a small personal investment in this very special novel, and the reward you reap will be a worthy one. I cannot think of a better companion to devote a few weeks to, maybe even a bit longer - hey, whatever it takes! It depends on your reading speed and the time you take to savor the poetry of the author's language. It has taken me years to sit down and finally make a serious commitment to read Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch ( Rayuela in Spanish).
