Query: Minute detail equals big pay off.

I struggled through the first 500 pages of this book. Demille is one of my favorite authors but the details here were too minute. Then just as I was about to give up the book just took off. All of sudden those details helped to create one of the most chilling and horrifying books I've ever read. I agree with the reviewer who said do not read the author's forward. I think that made it hard for me to get through the details. As a DeMille loyalist though, I look forward to his next book.
