Profile Image for So About That

After more than two hours pure tedium, surrender

How is this writer so highly rated? The book is a never ending drawl of breath, empty of action, devoid of motivation, vacant of compelling characters. There are characters. But there is no reason to care about any of them, including the ones portrayed as suffering. Even those are insufferably boring in their suffering. Well after 3 full chapters and it's completely opaque as to what is going on, what is happening, why are we here? Not willing to give it 5 more hours of my life and neither should you.
