Catch-22. The first five chapters or so are disconnected and confusing, a lot of people never finish the book because of it. I nearly didn't but for some reason slogged through and was greatly rewarded.

Right after you have a headache and want to give up, the pieces start coming together. It's like starting to see through the fog of war. And then magic happens, and you see the true genius of the book.
