I'm Huge in the UK!

I don't usually check Amazon UK, but google alerted me to new activity, and I saw some of the reviews there:

I'll be honest - I really like the 3 star review of the guy who doesn't like the second half. I think the problem with the timeline is serious, and the didacticism is heavy sometimes. I like to think these are the problems of a first time novelist, and these kinds of criticisms help, but only the response to the sequel will tell whether I've learned enough from them.
