Started reading it and quickly got engrossed into the plot. It had a decent speed and focused on developing the main plot.

After a few paragraphs the father's thoughts go on a tangent to what is happening around him. I couldn't care much about what all he is thinking of in the past. All I cared about was what is going on right now. So I trudged through it with effort. After a couple of paragraphs I decided to drop it. I've got very limited time and I don't want to spend it in tedious reading. Maybe the connect between his past thoughts and the current situation could have been better (maybe by telling us about past EVENTS that happened instead of only his FEELINGS.

Nevertheless, there's some pretty decent writing here and I hope to pick it up again soon. ( )
