Since I have come to the conclusion that this book will not improve it's become a real slog to try and get through. It is taking forever... I'd rather do anything besides pick this book back up.

I am beginning to think that the only reason some people like this book is because it makes them think back on their life. Anyone thinking back on their own life has to be more interesting than this guy's life. At this point I just want to power through as quickly as possible to pick up a better book.

Quick read so far, but I am kind of bored. There is no emotion. It deals with death and retrospection; it should be moving, but I am getting nothing. I am hoping we are building to some major emotional punch/great revelation but I am starting to lose hope. So far it feels like a boring, poorly redone take of A Christmas Carol.
