I read it this spring. Parts of it are really amazing, but as a whole, I can't say that I thought it was worth my time. (Part of the issue is that Bolano died before he really, truly finished it.) That said, the Part About the Critics definitely picks up about halfway through. And Parts 3 and 4 are simply phenomenal; The Part About the Crimes is one of the most terrifying -- and terrifyingly good -- things I've ever read.
