See, at least the end had a purpose. My beef is that the story did not set up the end. The story in general was likeable, but overlong and full of people who were boring. I mean, the protagonist is capital-B Boring. The girl is a shrill stereotype. Everyone else is a stock character out of central casting. And they muddle along doing nothing for hundreds and hundreds of pages. It bored me. That's probably why it took me a year and a half to read it, during which time I read four books on kindle and twenty two books on audible. SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS WAS EXCRUCIATING.
