I understand why the book has such acclaim but I just never got into it in the way I expected to. I think my expectations were too high.
The characters I thought were going to be really fleshed out were Philotei and Ibrahim, but I ended up really not caring about them, or any other character for that matter. The biggest issue for me was the focus on Kemal…if I wanted to read about him I’d pick up a history book.
