After a slower start, I did not expect to be so hooked in the end, and I got distracted a bit. It was not my best reading mood at the time. However, as I returned a few months later, I felt the pace improved significantly after 25% of the book. I don't know if I was just busy, but this book took me a bit to finish (see my date start vs. finish) because of its interesting concept.
