Ok, it’s not taking me forever – I started it a few weeks ago. But I’ve resolved to only read it whilst travelling (as in long distance journeys) and since I’ve only travelled about 8 hours so far and read for perhaps 6 of them I haven’t gotten to the 200 page mark yet.
I have to say, although the characters aren’t enthralling, I think reading it on the move really adds to the tone of the book. If you’re finding yourself in a bit of a rut (which definitely happens for the first part) then this is the way forward…
