I was about half-way through the novel at the time of our discussion of this book this past Tuesday evening, and have continued with it, just finishing it tonight. I found this book to be a bit of a slog to read, and whatever pleasures I found in it in the front half were gradually worn away by the second half of the book.
Maybe it is an inability on my part to fully appreciate the differences in cultural style in this English translation of a Chinese work, but I felt like I was being lectured to in a monotonous tone through far too much of the story. I ended up not caring about any of the characters in the slightest, and only finished the book out of a general sense of obligation to the fact that it was a group selection.
In the end, on our 1 to 10 scale, I can only give it a 5.
