I tried to read it previous year and found the books incredibly boring - most of the characters are exaggerated and flat, the story is really nowhere to be found after 300 pages and the use of English language was simplicistic. I only got through ~300 pages before giving up though, maybe a plot arises and takes the lead but I never reached it.
