Title: Are we reading the same book?
Review: If not for the plot discriptions other readers wrote, I would think that we are reviewing different books.I read this book based upon the large number of excellent reviews and the story started as I expected. However, as the book progressed, I became less and less enamoured of it.After the first half of the book, I skimmed for about 100 pages then couldn't finish the book. I found it boring and couldn't care for the characters. The author seemed to run out of fresh ideas and should have ended the story earlier.Many of the other reviewer's comments stating that this was one of their favorite books in the 70's or the 80's. Perhaps that is why I did not agree with the reviews, I read it 30 years later and maybe the story does not age well.I recommend that you don't waste your time finding this book in the used marketplace or the library.
Is the review positive or negative?
