Title: I couldn't pick it up
Review: I tried to get through this mammoth novel, but gave up after about 250 pages. I tried, I tried... but it was so poorly written, the characters so unconvincing, the 'dramatic' scenes so contrived and trivial, that I had to jack it in. I give it 1 star because unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option for '0 stars'. One of the direst novels I've ever tried to read.
