Hurain asked this question about Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1):

I don't get it. Why is everyone gushing over this book? I have dragged myself to page 160 or something but haven't found it interesting in the least. Should i continue or give it up? Is this where it get interesting?

Mistborn has an amazing and complex plot, layered characters, intricate politics, and detailed world building. But it is also slower and more subtle than most books, varying from intense action sequences to politics and planning. I'd say get about three quarters through, and then decide if you like it or not.
