This is supposed to be one of those good books. I'm 100 pages in and I can't find the heart. I'm looking, and I like to think that I know heart when I see it, but I sit here untouched.
I think the book is a little bit over-written. I thought the same about Midnight's Children. Neither the plot nor the characters seem profound enough to warrant all of the fuss the author is making about this story. I hope it picks up and ties together. I'm only a quarter of the way through, but I'm sensing that the rest is going to be a variation on the same theme, and the theme is just not doing it for me.

Irami, I read the book a year (2 years?) ago, so granted I don't remember it in great detail. I do remember liking it well enough to not feel as though I'd wasted my money. For me, having a main character with that particular condition (don't want to give spoilers) was very interesting, as it was something I'd never come across in fiction before.
