One of the best books i have EVER read in my entire life. It is VERY WELL worth reading. I read it back in 2001 or 2002, and i don't recall if it was slow at the beginning or not, but if it was it got really good really fast, cuz i am the world's slowest reader (i have ADD) and i read that book in just a week or two (and it's a pretty big book). I remember i loved it so much, i would actually come home on my lunchbreaks from work (i only worked 5 minutes away from my house) to read the book for 50 minutes. Lots of interesting plotlines, great character development, poignancy....and wait till the end!!--it is so AWESOME!!! (Now i want to read it all over again!
) I remember when i was finished reading it, i read on the Internet that there were plans to make the book into a movie. (Supposedly, Matt Damon was supposed to star in the lead role, much to my dismay since he doesn't seem suited for that character AT ALL.) But that was like 5 years ago and i have not heard anything since. Anyway sorry to babble, but i HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone!
