Thank God I'm not alone in disliking this book!
I, like many others, picked this book based on the awards and recommendations from friends. Until I happened upon these reviews, I thought something was wrong with me. I couldn't stand this book! I found it so plodding and boring. I always pride myself on finishing a book, no matter how difficult, but not this one. I figured life is too short to continue torturing myself and abandoned it about halfway through. I understand she has written a new book. Be afraid, be very afraid.
