The Crazed by Ha Jin

3.0

The first 80% of the book is a tedious slog. We're aware of what the author is telling us, but it comes so slowly, and with such little variation, that it is a chore to keep reading.

If you make it through that, you'll see that things come together well in the final section. It's a very good payoff for all that setup.
