bob walenski answers “I want to read this but am hesitant. I am...”

Ben M. asked this question about Cloud Cuckoo Land:

I want to read this but am hesitant. I am not a huge fan of the fantasy genre. I always have a problem following along. I don't want to invest both the money and the time (600+ pages!). I'd love to hear feedback on what you think?

bob walenski I was also daunted at first by the length and set up, but it reads VERY FAST!!!!! In fact, It reads more like a 300 pg novel...I finished it in 4 days…moreI was also daunted at first by the length and set up, but it reads VERY FAST!!!!! In fact, It reads more like a 300 pg novel...I finished it in 4 days. The fantasy aspect is also misleading...I also am not a huge fan, so I was skeptical. But it's only a small part. and without adding any spoilers, helped bring the story back to earth. It's really stories about wonderful characters from 800 years of history and the possible future who find an interconnectedness.(less)
