Ryan Williamson’s Reviews > The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet > Status Update

In this one Mitchell's favorite ingredient comes into play quite late making me feel like I got 300 pages of a romance novel as the setup. Then suddenly I'm on high alert and it, like always, feels like we're in the final dramatic last 20 minutes of a movie. Now I am hanging on every word. Hard to say if this pacing is better or worse than his other books but whatever I'm a huge fan so I can't be objective.
