Helpful Score: 1

This book is a tough read - mostly because Mitchell makes up language and dialect (I hesitate in comparing him to Tolkien, but that's what comes to mind). I only ploughed through the first half, because I had to complete it for bookclub. And then, miraculously, at around page 250, I started loving the story and became completely engrossed. The architecture of the book is pure genius moving forward and then backward through time. If it weren't for the pain of trying to decipher the first half, I'd give it 5 stars.
