When I first began No Mans Land, by Lesley Hauge, I found it very slow and uninteresting. It mainly spoke of the Trackers' daily lives in their strict society. From page 118, the pace began picking up. The patrol group discovered a dwelling that supposedly existed before the great devastation. I found this interesting, to see them enthralled by items our society sees daily.
Because they found the place, a chain of events begin happening. All sightings of evidence of the past had to be reported, which was impetus. The book started covering more in a shorter time. The cleansing of the traitors, and chasing the escaped all happened in two chapters. I like these parts because they don't focus on details. Too much fluff is bad, but too little is bad. The later parts of this book satisfied me, giving the perfect balance.

NIce sounds fairly interesting. My book also started a little slow, but like your it picked up as the plot thickened. Also, did you choose this book? Was it recommended to you? Did your parents make you read it?
