The pacing was all over the place. The first 300 pages were riveting, the middle 400 were slow and didn’t seem necessary, and the last 500 were up and down.
Disappointing ending which lacked explanation about a crucial scheme of the book. The revenge schemes were simultaneously really elaborate and silly (hinged on his wearing of a wig to completely disguise himself).
The attitude toward slavery was gross, but probably of the times.
I would’ve enjoyed the book more if he didn’t develop such a crushing god complex toward the end. It was just sooo heavy handed. The character that I liked so much in the beginning became such an ass over time.
