Review of 'England, England' on 'Goodreads'

I have only started this book and it doesn't sound too promising. I like the characters, as they are very complex and active and do interesting things, but I'm not enjoying the slow pace of the narration.

It took me forever to finish the book. It's OK, it picks up a little bit after the first half. It's more an excuser to reflect on the nature of "reality vs. copies" and how people tend to prefer "improved" copies of stuff to the real thing.
