Delightful

It started great, but now I'm bored to tears and seriously considering to stop reading this book.

I really liked the beginning of the book. It seemed to have a lot of potential. When I got to around page 100 it dawned on me that this book was not what I expected. When I called a couple of relatives they were not suprised that I was disappointed. It seemed to be nothing but 80s references and an endless recounting of the main characters life and search for clues.

I am about 50% done but I feel like putting the book down for good. It is not what I had hoped. I don't read to become a better person or to become smarter, sadly, but to have fun. And I am not having fun with this book.
As a matter of fact I find the book depressing. After reading many reviews it may be best to put the book down for good and find something more optimistic.

Loving it. Hey, why can't a grown up enjoy a good fairy tale. ;-)
