I started this earlier this week. It's slow going. So far the biggest problem I am having is all the various names. McCulough does give the reader a nice chart to follow at the beginning of the book (at least in my copy). Flipping back and forth take a little more time but it is a nice reference. Another problem I'm running into are the huge information dumps. It is informative even if it slows the story.
I finally finished! I feel like climbing the snow hill across the street and shouting. I think I need to buy my own copy of the next books as I don't know if the library will let me get away with keeping any more books for five months.
I was going to give up on it and make it a summer read. Once I got into Marius' rise, it was the end of October/beginning of November and the book got a little too real for me. At that point, I was committed. I finished with holiday break to spare!
Way to go, No Feet! (Sorry, I just saw this - had to play with my notifications since I wasn't getting notified for everything!)
