This book had some minor flaws — slow start, too many characters, some unnecessarily graphic elements - but overall is an incredible feat of storytelling, filled with mystery, adventure, and intrigue.
It’s so cinematic I was surprised it hasn’t been made into a movie, until I learned the author refused to sell the film rights. Made me love him and the novel even more.
