Review title: I wanted to like it
Product review: I got to page 500 or so and realized I had no desire to continue reading this book. Of what I read, I'd say maybe 25% of it was character-driven and the rest was setting description and fictional history review, which is really boring. I kept expecting it to get through the drawl and into the so-called "good stuff" (like in 1984, that horribly boring explanation of world and country history halfway through the book,) but after 500 pages that was looking like it wasn't coming. From reading other peoples' 1-star reviews it doesn't look like it ever picks up. So I give up. I wasted $17.
