Status Updates From Tod im Wunderland

Finished. I was not going to give up after reading half the book, so I forced myself, treating it as a "chore" like hoovering or cleaning the cooker, because I got lots of new books for my birthday which I really want to start reading now, lol. (P.S. I have once given up on a book after reading 200 pages, though - when there were another 300 pages to follow...)

I'm stuck on this book. Simply not reading it when I have the time to read because I'm not enjoying it. On the other hand, having read more than half, I don't really want to give up now...

I really liked the book to start with and it promised to be quite interesting, but then I felt it was dragging on a bit and was getting a bit boring... Hopefully, it'll pick up again now that Nigel Strangeways has finally appeared on the scene (which didn't happen until page 81), but I think I'll have break from Nichols Blake after this one...
