I found it very absorbing....I had it lying about (possibly for years!), as I'd read his children's fantasies, 'The Princess & the Goblin' and 'The Princess & Curdie', and not been amazed by them, but when I finally started on Lilith I enjoyed it a lot.

(without giving away too much...you'll find a bit very reminiscent to an idea in 'Dune'!!)
