I don't like any book that takes that long to get a story going.
But that's me.

Hrm. That's how I feel about
The Casual Vacancy. And just when she's made me interested in what's going on, she switches characters and subplot, making me disinterested all over again. I had to put it aside for something else, because I was frankly bored while readindg it. I've never yet quit on a book though (it's a weakness, I know) so I'll get back there eventually.
From all the positive reviews of
The Cuckoo's Calling I hoped this one wouldn't suffer from such a plodding pace, but I guess it's not to be. I've already bought it though, so I'll get to it too... eventually.
