BookLender review by Elsie on 2007-10-16 02:49:28

This book was so difficult to swallow. It was incredibly unending and repetitive. It is only the 3rd book in my life I have not been able to finish and I have read as many as 10 books a day. It was worse than wading through molasses. I finally decided that the inner monologue or singular narration was just too much to take for any longer and that the little snippits of conversation were not enough to salvage it. So, I finally stopped with Chapter 3.

I could not finish reading the book. There was just something about it that I could not get interested in.
