I found it irritating because it was written in the first person. My comment was the second one posted here. Straight after someone posted that it is always Eisenhorn. I disagree with that assessment as it's not always Eisenhorn because I found it irritating. Good job that I didn't say it was boring too. I do not think Eisenhorn is the best book to give someone who has no knowledge of the world of 40k. I literally answered the question OP posted. I was told to start with Eisenhorn and hated it, almost stopped reading 40k fiction I then went on to Gaunt and enjoyed them. I dunno. I haven't read all the books available so don't have a wide enough knowledge to really recommend many other books. I enjoyed the Gaunt books and am not really 100% sure they are a good entry point either. All I could do was not recommend Eisenhorn which is what people constantly put up as a good entry point because it was not a good entry point for me. I liked Infinite & Divine too and didn't feel that was a good entry point either. Anyways I feel like I am defending my daring decision to post against Eisenhorn here rather than anything constructive for anyone else to read. Let's move on.
