Worth it, in the end 9 months ago

“You spend ages hating it, then you grudgingly admire it, then you end up 5 starring it at Amazon.”

This is what one of the reviewers on Amazon said, and it sums up how I feel about the book too – I’m not quite sure how, but by the end I really liked it. So it’s worth suffering through the first 500 pages to get to the good stuff.

...thank goodness! 230 pages to go (still haven’t been able to stop counting the pages though).



I think... 10 months ago

...this is the longest it’s ever taken me to read a book. I’ve been at it for two months and I’m only halfway through it! There are parts of the story that I like but to be honest, I just find the book boring – in my haste to finish it I find myself checking what page I’m on every few minutes, which I really must stop doing.
