Ilium by Dan Simmons

This book gets good around page 530 - it is 726 pages.
It took me a solid 2 & a half months to finish this book which is a little unheard of for me, but I just kept finding myself wanting to put it down/dreaming of other books on my shelves that may have been better.
If this hadn't been a buddy read with my SO, I would have 100% put this down around pg 250. There's a whole lot of cringe to be found in the book, and I hit a wall at about the millionth description of some younger woman's milky white butt.
but again, it DID get good in the last 200 pages. I'm just not sure if it's good enough for me to pick up Olympos.
