It's not a slog. On the contrary, it is perhaps the ideal book for reading while sitting on the loo, or whilst having a bath. The chapters are mostly short, and typically cover different aspects of characters, plot, and other stuff, and are easy to read. Once you have read it through once to get an idea of the plot, you can just dip into at random, or re-read favourite bits. I used to keep my paperback copy in the bathroom.
