I bought this after reading the thread about our book of the decade. I just can't get on with it. Far from finding it compelling, I am struggling to engage with it at all.

Is there anyone who ended up loving it who felt like this at the start? I've read about a fifth if it and feel like ditching it but am worried it might all be about to turn round

I think it’s utter genius, but I thought that from the beginning.

Yep, didn’t even make it to the end of the first chapter, if there was one.

Awful book, I bought it as local bookshop was promoting it.
Hate the style it’s written in, makes no sense.
