My brother is nagging me to read this. He's usually right with his recommendations. I've just downloaded it - it's huge!
Has anyone read it and can tell me loosely what it's about, what it's similar to, etc? Refuse to read amazon reviews any more as some people seem to relish including massive spoilers. I'm intending starting it later today when Ive done the housework.

I read it, I did get sick of his self absorption, but it was good in bits.

I read most of it several years ago but then suddenly got sick of all his 'swashbuckling' and didn't read the last 100 or so pages.
I think I was enjoying it up till then.
