Trying to choose my next read and Идиот is in the running. Any spoiler-free thoughts on the pacing?

Aoife, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Идиот is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Niamh, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Идиот: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
