This book is super well written and very good but I am overwhelmed by how long it is and am giving up for now!
I enjoyed this book but I can't help but wishing the first half had been about half the length it was. It felt too drawn out and it took me AGES to truly get into the book. I found the second half a lot more enjoyable but still a bit slow. I was expecting a bit more action overall which hurt my overall opinion on the book.
I know this is well written but I found it long winded and I could not get interested enough to care what happens

An interesting beginning, an exciting end, and an interminably long-winded, tedious middle.

Not my thing. It felt too long and drawn-out, especially with the way it was written. Very old and dry language. I didn't care much for any of the characters. The footnotes also took me out of the story since I sometimes needed to stop mid sentence to read a short story, in very small text, that could span up to 3 pages. Then back to the middle of the sentence to continue.

I really enjoyed the sarcastic dry humor and presence of historical figures. I liked how the main characters were flawed and at points difficult to like, but I could still have people to root for through side characters (Stephen, Childermass ). The footnotes were very fun and contributed to an exceptionally easy to imagine world. While the pace was slow, I thought it worked well at immersing me into the story. The writing style in general was amazing and propelled the book to lofty heights.
