Helpful Score: 3

I was somewhat disappointed with the pacing of this book. I bought it in hardback based on good critical reviews, but I found the first 350 pages difficult to get through. Much of the first two thirds of the book is spent developing characters, and not much of significance happens as far as plot. However, the author's writing style and some of the characters were interesting enough that I plodded on. During the last 100 or so pages I was glad I stuck with it. The end of the book is exciting and full of surprises. I just wish the pacing were more even throughout the story.... I thought many times about giving up during the early chapters.
