panThe beginning of this book is very, very, very slow. Things do go utterly mad later, but it‘s a slow burn to get there. I know a lot of people enjoyed it, but it wasn‘t my thing and I found the characters completely unlikeable.

The author felt American readers wouldn‘t “get” the book and rewrote an Americanised version for the English translation… which personally, I find rather disappointing. 31m
