I originally started this book in the fall of 2012, shortly after it came out. I made it through about half, and just hated it. I didn't understand why it was on many Best Of lists for 2012. I stopped reading it for over a year. At times I would pick it up again and try and read a few pages. I just couldn't. It was awful. Well, I finally picked it up again this month with the intention of finishing it just so I could give it 1 star. But then a weird thing happened. I really started enjoying it. I got into the flow of the story. And finished it within a day of picking it back up. I think it would have helped me and maybe it would help you if you choose to read it, to read the note from the author at the end of the book first. That would have really helped me enjoy the beginning of the book more, and I would have finished it in 2012, not 2014.
