I don't mind boring or slow plots. But the start of this book was indeed very slow. Actually not much happens in this book except that one or two parts, if you read the book, you know. The character, I forgot the name, he is very indifferent. He sees a woman get beaten up and have no remorse, he can testify wrongly to protect a man who he doesn't even consider as his friend. He has no sadness for his recently deceased mother or the fact that he committed a heinous crime. He truly had no emotions, like a sociopath, actually a lot like a sociopath. It was chilling and scary because I can name people I know in my life that acts like him, and maybe in strenuous circumstances, they would act like him. In the beginning, he did seem like a decent guy, a normal fellow. As the book went on, as we get to dig deep into his thoughts and actions, he is scary. He has close to no sympathy or remorse.
Not a book for people who are looking for morally good characters or big character growths.
