I was a little bit lost reading this book. It felt like I'm reading a 1000 pages book instead of just 200. Such a slow pace indeed. I was mostly don't know the period of time of each chapter because it kept back and forth though I got the big idea of the story. There were even few chapters that were meaningless and make me confused.
