I couldn't finish this book. The main character, Sano, tired me with his waffling. I understand that Sano was struggling against tradition and expectation, but after reading about three or four of his internal debates over this, it gets old. And the number of times he folds to pressure - or nearly does - to give up his investigation, only to turn right back around and decide that no, he can't give up; that got tiresome too.
