I read a lot of the reviews & can't help wondering, were we all reading the same book? There were a few I agreed with, in that I found this book so boring & the narration was so long & full of nothing that it was like someone just rambling on & on. I normally spent a good 4 to 6 hours a day reading on my Kindle. But this story did not motivate me to pick up my Kindle much so I read it about 1 hour each day, until I couldn't take it anymore. I was forcing myself to read this book, when normally I have to force myself to put the Kindle down. That is when I have found a good story that has grabbed me in the first few pages. This book was like forcing myself to swallow a huge bitter pill. Maybe I missed something, so hey, take the advice of the 5 star reviewers & read it for yourself.
