The beginning is a bit slow, but soon picks up. The cover of this novel I feel does not do this book justice, but lets ignore that for a second. This book is incredibly well written and has an interesting development style in the book. While the main character is focused upon greatly, he is merely serving as a binding for the story arcs that occur between each character while simultaneously being influenced by each side character that he is introduced to. The author introduces several side characters slowly, with an incredibly heartwarming yet humorous story arc, as the novel progresses to always keep it interesting. Well worth the read, and i reccomend at least to give it a try.
