It's very rare that I don't finish a book. I most always plod through a story to get to the ending before deciding if I liked it or not. This book, however, just couldn't keep my interest. I gave up about half way and decided it just wasn't worth my time to finish. I can't remember the last time I didn't finish a book---especially by Johansen. Terribly disappointed. But I won't give up on her. I hope this was a rare exception.
