What a disappointment. I couldn't get through it. I did my best, but I finally gave up around page two-hundred something. I am flabbergasted this book won the Hugo & Nebula awards. People must see something in this book that I don't. I found most of the characters to be annoying, particularly the ones in the near-future Oxford, England. I love a good story, but if I don't care about the characters I can't disappear into the book. This book has gotten quite a few great reviews, but I also read some less that stellar ones also. I would have to agree with the latter ones.
