This took me a hellishly long time to finish, and it was good, but I really could have done with, it being about 150 pages less. I also found it hard to have sympathy for anyone, by the end I felt a little like choices had been made, and yet... They still moaned/suffered their way through it. 

Worth picking up but also good for it to be done.
