I wish I liked this more. I want to like this more. There's much that's clearly admirable but...I just don't know. It's not catching or holding my interest and I have to force myself to read it. I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know precisely what.

This is clearly a rich and meaty book, one brimming with stories to tell, so I can't figure out why it's so dull so far. I can hardly bring myself to come back to it when I put it down (I started it weeks ago) and really only do so out of a kind of duty and a hope that it gets much better.
