I'm on Page 286, and liking this book to an extent. The writer puts forth a captivating mix of literary brilliance and urban grit. But after taking three weeks to make it only halfway through (and the book due back at the library tomorrow), I'm vaguely disappointed with the pace of this story and not feeling a burning desire to hang in until the bitter end. Should I renew the book and invest three more weeks trying to finish? Or just quit now?

I loved this book. I say keep at it. I can't remember at what point it became one of my favorites, but it did take a while.
Guess I may be late, but I do prefer the book's second half.

Aww, I returned it to the library on Wednesday. I was having trouble getting into the second half. But the writing was so crisp and at times compellin

I heartily recommend you return to it. The superhero thing is emphasized even less in the last half of the book, if that was a turn-off for you.

Thank you! Actually, the superhero thing wasn't as bad as I was expecting, from reading the reviews.
