Based on the rave reviews this book has generated, I first tried to read it in print and could not get into it. When I saw it on the audio book shelves at my local library, I thought I'd try listening to it instead. I had problems getting past the first disc, but wanted to give the book a chance. I finished it because I needed to see how it ended, but the journey was painful. I found the book boring and overlong and can't understand what all the fuss was about.
