This book sucks. Some parts are good, some parts seem like they have promise... but overall I think the value is more in the kindling than the literature.
I'm about a third of the way through, and the only reason to go on is that I have never NOT finished a book of fiction. The story is so weak at this point that continuing to read feels like an act of sympathy for the author.
I would love to hear from someone who likes this book.
