It’s a thousand pages long, Do you know the kind of investment that goes into a book that’s a 1000 pages long?
The first three parts of the book are bloody brilliant. I mean the author topped ‘I am pilgrim’ with the level of detailing and plot twists that made me believe this could possibly be the best book of the year.
And then it goes not just to shit, it literally feels like a possessed alter ego decided to turn it from a undercover spy thriller to a time traveling fantasy. I mean what the actual $#*: was the crap that followed. It was ludicrous insane and positively the worst second half I have ever read.
I wish I could get back the time I spend on this god awful book.
Don’t touch this with a barge pole. Even if someone pays you for it.
