This is not the type of book I can comprehend by listening to an audio book… I have the physical book so I will read that when I’m ready.

DNF - I felt like it dragged on and I was losing some interest in the vignettes that didn't always seem to lead anywhere. I would revisit not in audiobook and be willing to try again. It's definitely a bleak book - the subject matter should be the tip off - and it was really crashing my productivity and focus. Not the right audiobook for me, personally.

Historical inaacuries, awful repetitive dialog, painfully slow narration, and pointless novel within a novel. Feels like an unfished unedited draft.

Rambling, confused and repetitive, unusual for me not to finish a book

Pretentious, repetitive and needed so much more editing. I can’t put myself through another 503 pages of that. How this made it to being a published work I do not know.

I initially started reading/ listening to this book with much excitement but that faded pretty quickly. The characters were interesting enough the book seems to drag. Can’t say that I’d recommend this book to anyone.

The story rambles quite a bit.
