4/10 - Underwhelming. The reviews of this book are so good, but I just couldn't get into it. I think the story is really interesting but it's quite waffley at times, and really didn't need to be 500 pages. I also found that there were some bits that REALLy didn’t age well even though it’s not that old. I tend to rate mostly based on enjoyment and unfortunately I was pretty bored by this.
