I bought this from the Op shop on the way to the airport. Since they make me turn off my Kindle on take off and landing, thus depriving me 30 minutes of reading. 
 I tried to like it, I stuck with it, but there was nothing there really to hold me to the story. Picking it up every now and then to carry on with the plot is not the best thing, as I often forgot who was telling the story at the time. I did not bond with any of the characters, especially the original story teller. 
 I eventually gave up after trying it 3 times, and managing only half way through.
