I also didn't find the book to be slow, I feel like I read this one in one whole sitting as well and I thought the pacing was good which is the other thing I see reviews saying. Mostly I think I too can be annoying/whiny/a shithead so books with characters like that just feel more commiserate with my own self and experience. I often find that I enjoy shitty flawed characters a lot more and this feels like when I enjoyed things like Sorrows of Young Werther or The Catcher in the Rye and everyone else was just like I hate the protagonist he's whiny and annoying. I think what most people hated about this book that made me like it is that Eldon is kind of a shit head. The book follows Eldon, who lives in a small town where everyone gets one wish on their eighteenth birthday, as he tries to figure out what to wish for. So I seemed to have enjoyed this book a lot more than most people and now I'm confused about whether or not I missed something.
