Well, the first third took me a week, the next 20% took me about 5 days, but the last 40+% took me 2 days. It definitely picks up after about the 50% mark. I only rated it a 4 star book, mostly because of how slow the first half is. The second half is excellent.

This was book #23 for the year which puts me on pace for just over 100 this year. Next is ?? by ??. I feel a little burnt out after that one, so I may take a little break.
