It does get better. Danae al'Thor Send a noteboard - 24/12/2010 10:39:11 PM
Ok, I know some of you are big fans of this book, so I'm asking this in hopes that there is some hope for the book. I've just barely started reading the book, and at about 20-30 pages in, it's in contention for the worst book I've ever read. I'm not sure why I should care to read 5 pages of descriptions about different types of Pencilnecks, or a 1/2 page about how a bar smells like pig poop.

Please tell me it gets better if I stick with it for a bit, because right now I pretty much hate it.


I'm not a fan, but it is not a bad book at all. My problem was basically with the narrator, and a sad coincidence that made me realise part of the plot. Give the narrator some time to win you over? It might happen, he's not bad.

The first few chapters aren't the best, but it hooked me in fairly quickly after that *NM* Stephen - 03/12/2010 04:52:41 PM 269 Views
