First of all, I am an avid reader with eclectic tastes. I read whatever I can get my hands on.

However, this book was so boring and tedious that I couldn't get much past the first chapter. I skimmed through, hoping the story got more interesting, but no such luck. The writer's style isn't bad, but there are just too many detailed descriptions, too many extra bits of information, none of which really moved the story along.

If you're bored already, this is absolutely not the book to read!
