They can make the reading VERY rough. Glad you found some solace in the story overall but I do believe I'll be skipping this one.

I really can't wait 300 pages for something to start happening. I am glad you found things within the book to admire.

It sounds as if this one falls a bit short on those factors.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-64063646463214654192014-02-08T17:29:58.111+00:002014-02-08T17:29:58.111+00:00If it's a slow starter, I think I'll pass....If it's a slow starter, I think I'll pass.
