This book has MANY very high reviews and people seemed to love it. I could barely get through it, since it kept putting me to sleep! In the end, I never really understood it. The prose was especially irritating, since the author wrote in a long, breathless, run on sentence that could go for one to two pages at a time. And frequently did.
