Written by a student who hasn't yet gotten over school
I don't typically not finish a book, but this one holds the top honor for me of unfinished books. Not only did I not finish it, but I remember exactly why. It's incredibly long (longer than War and Peace? I don't know), has no plot that I can notice, no suspense, and builds no sympathy for the main characters. The book sounds like a hot-air balloon written by a graduate student to disprove a theory of one of his professors. If you're 14 years old, then maybe it'll work for you. But if you're over 30, then forget it.
