Found the first half of this book quite slow, didn’t find myself wanting to pick it up and read on my lunch breaks/in the mornings before work like I do with other books. So much so that I was considering not continuing and it’s only because I had quite a few people tell me to keep going that I persevered.
I feel that it really picks up in the second half of this book and got that love for reading feeling back again. There’s a lot more tense and mysterious action that begins to happen and more Easter eggs dropped for the reader to pick up on and question who’s the most suspicious which I liked.
I find reading books about alcoholism quite tiresome is what I’ve realised.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
