[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I picked up both Moscow and Civility based on over the top gushing by a friend. Couldn’t get past first pages. How much further do I need to force my attention before I find it intriguing?[/quote] OP here, Rules is written kind of as a frame story - the first chapter takes place in the 1960s and then the bulk of the novel is the character reminiscing about 1938. I would give it until the end of the first chapter of the main part of the book to see if you like it. I was hooked at the end of the introductory chapter because it's implied that a character suffered a mysterious fate and I wanted to find out what happened. For Moscow, I was interested from the get-go, but I would try reading at least until you're a chapter or so deep into the plot in the hotel. That said, life is too short to read books that you don't enjoy!![/quote]
