Helpful Score: 2

Starts out EXTREMELY slow, you'd never imagine a book that starts w/ statues in a church wailing about past crimes to be described as starting slow but trust me, I was struggling mightily thru the first 500 pages or so. But I ended up absolutely loving this novel. I especially loved the footnotes that occasionally ran for pages and pages. You can really get a sense of a well developed history and mythology that seems to simmer right beneath the surface of the story.
