All in all I liked it, but…
Slow start and at one point I was thinking it would take a paranormal turn but didn’t (that could have been fun). Then 70% into the story the best character showed up, a black man who was given a new life away from the streets and he spends it dealing out justice, Mr. Topp (um where is his book?)
This book is a little long and never really gripped me properly. It could have been tighter, more focused, turned it up a little more.
First DNF of 2024. Made it 25% into it and I'm done—between the awful husband, the wife's self harm, etc. not interested in trying to push on through. It took me a /week/ to get this far. That should've told me something before now.
