I've made it some 60% into the book and just can't go on. Like the other guys giving this read just 1/2 stars, I feel there must be something to get in this book and I miss it by miles apparently. Pages roll, unbearably overstretched monologues go on, and on, and on, and on, but all of that is said through those is failing completely to raise any more favorable thought than: This thing here must have been really interesting 100 years ago. Maybe.
