I chose to read this book only because it has good reviews online and it has reviews like funny and moving, and back of the book is stated ” Finally rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never got round to it.” And I can’t help it but to buy one copy and read. let me tell you I had trouble reading this book in the beginning, I could hardly read a chapter and close the book but when I reached the page number seventy, everything changed from that point and I read the whole book in two days. I have mixed feeling for this book genuinely, It is funny and moving and it is slow in the beginning.
