A Goodreads user asked this question about The Blind Assassin:
Almost two years later and I still cannot finish this book. I am more than half way through, but I just can't finish it. Why, oh why? It's been picked up and abandoned multiple times. I'm not sure if the reason is because the story moves too slowly for my taste or if the dialogue is putting me off. Should I continue? For those who have read this book, does the ending make up for the first half?
Jared Gulian I had the same problem. I wanted to love this book, but it moved too slowly. I gave up halfway through.
