Picked it up for a song at my place of work, specifically for bookcrossing. Another bookcrosser has been looking to read it. :)
Packaged for the mail. Will be sent to another bookcrosser tomorrow.
Was popped in the mail this morning, and is on its way to an unsuspecting bookcrosser! =O
Arrived in the mailbox the other day, an excellent surprise that beats getting bills!!
Wow. Long. And just when you think you're starting to make progress, the book gets longer somehow. I swear, every time I started reading, I had more pages to go when I put the book down than when I started!
But it was worth sticking it out until the end. I gave up on the footnotes fairly early and didn't feel like I was at a loss at all. The book got much darker than I anticipated and the pace of action was quite slow most of the time. However, the sense of accomplishment when I finally finished and the twists in the plot made up for it!

This book is heading out into the wilds of Guelph to help stock one of the city's wonderful Little Free Libraries. Which one or when, I cannot say - that will be up to the discretion of the owners!
