Freddie answers “Almost two years later and I still cannot...”

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?

Freddie Yes in my opinion it does. I had to read it for my study, so I wasn't able to put it down, but like you I had difficulty getting through the first hal…moreYes in my opinion it does. I had to read it for my study, so I wasn't able to put it down, but like you I had difficulty getting through the first half. The second half interested me a lot more, the reading was easier, I was more hooked I suppose. And the ending is quite good, not what I expected at all.(less)
