Let me go against the grain here also. I am halfway through the book. I found it difficult to get into. It is wordy and lots of it is very slow moving. I have tried over a half dozen times to get into it, and every time I'd trudge forward about 20 pages and get bored. One day, I intend to finish it though.
I'm with you. Got the book a couple of years ago.... read it twice. It gets raves from most readers. I found it by and large irrelevant... with a small clap for a few interesting bits.
