Woodruff Random Readers Book Discussion discussion

I'm really trying, but I don't think I can finish this. I'm half way through, but I just really don't care what happens and don't think I want to waste any more time... Maybe it's because I know nothing about Greek (and Roman?) mythology, none of the names or stories make any sense, and there's no plot. I see everyone else really liked it, so I'm looking forward to hearing what I'm not understanding!
