slow-paced

This book was so boring that I DNFed 95% of the way through. No regrets on that either. Maybe I missed something deep. 
adventurous medium-paced

one of those books that’s so good that you finish it only to immediately restart it. also a book that makes you want to quote the entire thing at people all the time. like cmon:

“Owning, disowning, recanting, recharting a hateful course of events to make sense of her complicity. We all are, I suppose. Trying to invent our version of the story. All human odes are essentially one. ‘My life: what I stole from history, and how I live with it.’”

“In spite of myself I have loved the world a little, and may lose it.”

“To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.”
