Title: Monumentally slow and tedious
Review: I found the characters amusing for a while, but after it just slowly grinds on and on for page after page I started to just wish they would die.I can't believe this relatively simple story takes so long to tell. Worse than that it is padded with repetition, so it isn't a huge painting with a small and interesting subject, it's a lot of nothing much with some minor relief to the boredom.And then in five minutes it's all sorted out. The main character does the obvious thing, which would probably make anyone else a pariah. Everything before and after those five minutes hardly matters. Even the disasters don't really matter to the story. Though they do matter to the characters.
