1/5 Star (%10/100)
DNF at %30 (around 80 pages).
If I had only one word to describe the book, it would be disappointing. I heard nothing but good comments about the book and the short synopsis was also interesting but it just does not work. I really tried my best but I cannot read even one more page. I've read quite a bit but nothing really happened yet. All I've read so far is the long description of statues, fish, birds, rooms, and so forth. There is also plenty of numbers like one hundred sixteenth room, seventy-eighth month in the thirty-second year, etc. This becomes complicated because the book is split into many smaller chapters given to us as diary entries. The only I've learned (before I dnfd it, so around page 80) is that the labyrinth causes memory loss. I know my mind is pretty busy lately so it is hard for me to focus but jesus christ this is boring. I don't know about you but I'm not gonna spend almost 200 pages just to learn 2 or 3 more pieces of information. There is a simple premise which is good enough but the execution is horrible is all I can say. Try it but I have to say I will never come back to this book and possibly the writer because I really wanted to read Jonathan Strange.
