skillyillian's review against another edition

It's.. I'm so bored. It reads like Stephen King. Could partially be bc the narrator is a man, but I'm just? I don't care for the gang/mafia angle as much as I thought I would? I've heard SO many good things about this, it's highly rated, but I just can't get into it. I got 26% in and just didn't care about any of the characters. It's a mix between a complex mafia/family history and a literal history textbook and I'm just not vibing with it.

I really enjoyed this book. The family draws you in despite their flaws. The plot is tense and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only reason it didn’t get five stars is that there are chunks of story that felt unnecessary. It made the book feel long when otherwise it might not have.
