Good advice but delivery is poor. Lots of repetition that inflates page count

Review of 'Judenstaat' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Gave up after 3/4s... I enjoyed the world building quite a bit, but the story and characters just didn't hold together very well for me. There's a weird pivot about half way through that didn't make sense, and by then I didn't care enough to back up and figure it out.
