I tried!
I really wanted to like this book. I initially thought that if I just get past the first 50-60 pages, then things will pick up. I was wrong. This book, for me anyway slogged all the way to the end. The pace was so slow. I didn't even care for the writing. I didn't like any of the characters either. I did like the setting. I really tried to like this book, but in the end I just didn't.

Pedantic
I wanted to like this book but I found it difficult to get into. When I become interested in the characters up popped sentences such as: "Through this paradoxical dark brightness the people moved with a vivid lethargy and calm." Then I came upon 'disburdened, desultorily, sussaration", etc. I finished the book because I cared about Robert (though I'm not sure why) and I'll be traveling soon so wanted my review online before I left. I didn't think this was an 'evocative new work of literary suspense.' I thought it was boring and a waste of my time.
