I'm on chapter 12, so I'm already into the story. Fox hunt details are right up there on my yawn scale, although the writing flows and I do appreciate the inclusion of the American character as a surrogate for us, the reader. Mostly I was dismayed to find that there are 600+ pages to the book, I was really hoping this was shorter.
