The book has a pretty slow pace but the author’s writing style and short chapter length made it feel like it was moving along much faster.

When I was reading the book, I couldn’t put it down. After I put it down, I had trouble picking it up. Not sure that I’ve experienced that before. Overall I really liked it, I think.
