Related: About this forumAnyone here read "Cloud Cuckoo Land"?
I'm about 130 pages into it and I'm finding it rather tedious reading. Does it get a lot better? I'm just about to give up. I absolutely loved his "All the Light We Cannot See" but this one is really dragging.

I stand in awe of you if you made it that far. I read about 5 pages and quit.

For me, books (and films) need to grab me quickly. This one failed to do so and yes, I loved "Light"

My wife's book club loved it, so I thought I'd give it more of an effort. I'm done!

Character arcs are surprising and great. It is bittersweet, shows the power of hope through despair. Just a beautiful work.
