Just got to the 'twist' and it has completely put me off. No idea that was what the book was about and wouldn't have bought if I was aware.

Don't want to say what because it's a spoiler.

Is it worth persevering?

It does for me. I stopped reading but I am intrigued and I like the style of writing, I posted to see if anyone felt the same and continued.

I probably will.

I loved it. Best read of the year so far.

I don't know if it spoils the beginning because I didn't know when I read it. However, the twist is so early that you will only miss out on the Shock moment. There is still most of the story to read after that.

Well I just googled it to see if it was a title I'd find interesting and the Guardian review gives what I assume is the twist you mention away.

Does knowing that spoil the reading of the first 77 pages?

Sorry ?

I loved this book. I know what you mean about the twist, I was initially a bit disappointed because I thought it was going to go another way.....however, it does not disappoint. Persevere.
