This felt really slow to me. The NYT called it “spellbinding” but I am not sure I would  characterize this book that way. It took me longer to get through it than I would have liked. There were a few days I wasn’t much compelled to pick it up. This is the first book by Makkai that I’ve read but I’m still interested in reading The Great Believers.
