Negative Positive
Title: Lots of Hype...
Review: I bought this book due to the fantastic articles written in the New York Times Book Review, Entertainment Weekly, etc. While this book has incredible detail and constructs an elaborate world, I had to force myself to stay with the plot and continue reading.As a former graduate student, I am used to books that are intricate, scholarly and somewhat dry. Around 500 pages in, however, I gave up on this one. Perhaps, I might return someday to find out what happens. But at the moment, I prefer to spend my time reading something more engaging.
