Title: So far the word is "tedious"
Review: I must admit I've never reviewed a book mid-way before. I just had to pause and relate my experience with this for a moment. I'm finding it quite tedious. Perhaps it's simply over my head, as a wholly American girl, but a lot of the themes and references are British through and through. The same sense of dry humor and caustic wit that is typical of English theater is clearly evident here. There is no doubt that it is well written, but I simply haven't yet fallen in love with the characters. Nor have I any idea what the plot actually IS yet. In the first few chapters, we are treated with an explicit gay sex scene. If this is not your cup of tea, then definitely don't buy this book. Oddly, I found this part to be interesting... maybe it's because it's a world with which I am decidedly unfamiliar. I plan to wade through the rest of it, and I hope that it picks up. I'll update my review at that time.
Is the review positive or negative?
