Actually quite a good book. I'm told it's about the size of a dictionary so I'm glad I went with the audiobook. There were some mildly annoying parts (the main character is exceedingly self sacrificing, though it makes sense in context) but overall it was good. I didn't have particularly high expectations but it exceeded them for sure.
