Slow Going, Had to Return.

I returned this item because it couldn't stand up to my poodle's thick, curly coat.  It was slow going, that's for sure!  Your results may vary and it may be better on fur, rather than poodle hair.

Slow responce & started falling apart.  Returned.

I really wanted to like this book, but it was just so slow moving that it became painful. The writing is well done, but the pace is too slow for my taste. The characters were OK, but they didn't grab my attention or really cause me to care about them. A good book, but not great.

I was eager to read this book after reading the description and title. Unfortunately I had to stop reading halfway through. It was taking way too long to move the story along. It felt like wading through mud! I didn't want to waste any more reading time.

The story was interesting, however, it took started out slow. The third book was way too much information.  I wanted to find out what was going on. There was just way to much stuff to read through to get to the end.

Story jumped around a lot, so it was hard to follow, plus it took too long to get to the point - lost interest.  Was a selection for my book club, but I struggled to finish because it was so much work to read.

Begining is slow and builds, but not the greatest.

Slow moving, takes the plot too long to develop. when the action starts at the 60% part of the book, it is quickly over

This book was a slow mover to me. And the dialogue left a lot to be desired. I was a little tired of the I love you's by book's end. Had it not been for the cliffhanger at the end, I probably would have not have gone on to book two.

I love British detective novels but this one was so--o-o slow to develop and very difficult to keep up with nephews and relatives.  It is a period piece with too much "period."

I wish I could have liked this book. It was SLOW! The motifs were all about the senses--nothing about the interior lives of the characters. The last 50 pages finally resolved what had already been long expected. I became irritated with the now de rigeur themes of mothers, Christianity and regular people are bad while paganism, occult and petulant children are good. This was a dark story--not always bad--but I just got tired of the predictable placement of the shadows.

I found this book really slow getting started. Finally started skimming the pages to get through it. Was over 50% in before it got interesting. Once the story got going, it was well paced; but it took perseverance to get there.

I struggled along until 14%, then gave up.  It was moving too slow.  New characters were being introduced but there was no beginning of a connection yet.  ...not even a glimmer of where we were going with this.  No action...

Took a while to get going. After living in NT I thought it would have been a great read. But it did take some time to get going.

This book just moved too slow for my liking.  I rarely quit reading a book midway through, but this one I did.  I have yet to go back and finish it.

Very slow to get the story going. The first 3/4 of the book was so slow! Took a lot of self discipline to continue reading and finishing it!
