140 pages for me. I'm following it better and enjoying it more now.

I almost finished INSORT last night, but it got to midnight and I had to stop 20 pages short. I will probably be giving it a better mark than you might expect.

I was struggling to stay awake reading 7DoEH last night. It was fairly daft. I had to go back several pages before I knew where I was.

I have finished INSORT. I’ve gone through a range of feelings towards it ranging from enjoyment to irritation, settling, in the end, on indifference.

I'll give a spoiler-free preview of the way my feelings towards 7DoEH proceeded. It has 60 chapters.
Ch 1-10 - 10/10 - what a total original - brilliant Ch 11-20 - 9/10 - more twists and turns. Loving this. Ch 21-30 - 8/10 - okay, that's a bit odd. But this is still great Ch 31-40 - 7/10 - hmmm, a few misgivings but I want to see how this ends Ch 41-50 - 6/10 - this is getting a bit tedious now. Ch 51-60 - 5/10 - oh. That it, is it? Preposterous.
I am *very* disappointed with this book. It's a brilliant concept, but... well, it's not badly executed as such but he clearly had no idea of how to end this when he started.
