Thank you for the heads-up. I only read two chapters from the book and was put off somehow. I imagine it gets better?

The problem with this book is that you have to power through 2/3, maybe even 3/4 of the book to get to the best part. I was struggling hard reading it (I'm not the most patient reader), but it blew my socks off towards the end and couldn't put it off. I think I would still recommend though.

Cheers, that was my problem I think, lack of patience. Thank you for the heads up, I'll start it again!

Possibly another problem is that it's a translation. The language or way of writing is nothing special.
