Brilliant thanks Emily

I am in the middle of reading it now. I bought it (Kindle version) in the belief it was a "novel," so have been disappointed from that point of view, but am finding it interesting nevertheless. As you say, I'm finding it a little harder work than many books, and I am not looking forward to sitting down with it each night the way I would with a novel or mainstream biography. I have therefore decided to divide it up and read two "people" between other books, as I really do want to read it, but am finding it a little "stiff going."
