I tried. I really really tried. I wanted to like this book but at just a little under half of the way through, I've decided to quit. It just isn't for me. I actually found myself dreading and/or skipping my nightly reading time because I felt obligated to read this book. I just find it incredibly boring and slow-paced to the point of frustration. I'm not really invested in the characters or the plot (at least what little of it there is). I had such high hopes for this book and am sad that it wasn't what I expected. I'll probably either gift my copy to someone or leave it in a free little library in hopes that it will be someone else's favorite book.

I hate to say this, but I'm kind of bored with the book. The pace is slower than I am accustomed to and I think that's taking a toll on my interest. The blurb made the book sound more mystery oriented than anything, but I'm not finding that to be the actual case. I'm not going to DNF the book because I want the summer reading badge, but I'll be honest and say that this book is not what I was expecting and I'm kind of disappointed. It's well-written and I can see how others would enjoy it, but it's just not for me.

This book is quite well-written in the fact that I KNOW my mind is being forced to grapple with heavy philosophical ideas on human nature, reality, and what I consider right and wrong. But I have absolutely zero clue what those ideas are or how they are influencing my thoughts. Maybe this whole book is a power morpheme. Maybe Scott Moore is the true linguist mage.

This is definitely an easy read for me and a book I come back to whenever I'm in a slump. I just love Jon and Donovan so much.

This book makes my brain hurt but in a good way
