High Fidelity

For me, it was a tough read. I like the subject, the setting, I liked some characters and it is as always extraordinary written work. The whole atmosphere of 1910. Is present although you might not fully notice the historical connections that are there until the very end.
But for some reason, I could not enjoy this piece as a whole because some of the characters and some of the details did not sit with me for example Eddie. I find it hard to read with three points of view, the third point was completely unnecessary for me and sometimes it feels like it was looping already known facts. So I had problems when I hit 150 pages and I was even considering not finishing the book. However, my stubbornness made me go to maybe 70 more pages. And then somehow everything suddenly connected and all of the characters were finally involved with everything that was happening around them. I think the final finish of this book is one of the most smooth sailings finishes I have ever read and it'll stay in my mind for a while. (view spoiler)[ Even though it is so dramatic with many losses and many events that happened in history it was so well connected that you feel some kind of guilt for enjoying writing in that part. The character of Eddie was a big problem for me because no matter how much I tried to connect and feel that character I found it impossible.  (hide spoiler)]
My final standing on this will be 3.2 ⭐ even tho I did like the book, I couldn't be in it all the way.
