Funny. I kind of felt the same about Red Harvest, but I felt
that way about 1/3 of the way in. When I came back to it and
really weighed in, I was happy by the time I got 3/4 of the
way in and it'd gone outside of my expectations. For me this
book doesn't get good until after the Op decides to tear
Poisonville apart.
