It is worth taking time with this book. It should be read slowly and allowed to melt into us.

Meh

Finally had to take a break from this book. While it started out well, I found his insistence on the grinding feat of walking the road eventually overshadowed anything interesting about the various regions he passed through.

Quit in disgust

So far, I'm finding this novel very uneven and undeveloped in places. The old dictum of "show, don't tell" is repeatedly violated bt too much awkward back story. I often feel as though I'm reading the first complete draft of the novel, with embarassing thin patches. Hard to believe it's written by the author of Native Speaker.
