Title: Boring!
Review: I picked up this book because it won the Hugo award, but it was boring, boring, boring!I gave up after chapter seven, the story goes nowhere very fast.The only thing that I found interesting about this book was that is actually sounded as if it had been written in 1808. It reminded me of The House of Mirth.Update - I thought that I would give this book a little more time to grow on me. I am now at Chapter 31, and it is still as boring as ever, if not more so! The Harry Potter of adults my eye.Another update - after investing so much time in this book I thought that I might as well finish it. It ends as it begins, meandering along a road of pretty prose with no real end in sight.Apparently we are being set up for a sequel.If you like Dickens, read Dickens, and if you like Melville, read Melville, but don't call this a classic just because of the lovely way it is written.
Is the review positive or negative?
