review 1: Good gravy, what an epic tale this is. It took me years (literally, years) to finish this book because I have zero attention span and at times, I just didn't have the will power to attack this book with the steadfast devotion it deserves.

Officially gave up on this after 225 pages. Life is too short to work so hard on a book.

I really like the book but it is hard to read, with all of the story jumps and subtexts.
