I could never quite get into this book. From the very beginning, my interest was barely piqued, but I stuck with it for as long as I could (which was pretty long considering the book's 900 pages) but eventually boredom and regret over how much time I was wasting with this book kicked in and I quit without even finishing it... I just could not bring myself to care about any of these characters and their day-to-day lives. Most of them I felt had very few endearing qualities. You may feel completely differently about it though!
