Helpful Score: 2

Disturbing, dark, depressing, and doesn't deliver. I've read about 2/3 of it so far and seriously doubt that I'll be able to drag myself through to the end. I still have no idea at all about why the charactors find themselves in the position they are in. What happened? What caused them to be where they are, doing what they do? The book leaves me with questions, but no answers, and I don't care enough about the questions to search for the answers, to hunt down the meanings, to learn about the incentives. I know it got excellent reviews, but I also know that I am by far not the only person who feels as I do about the book. I have tried to force myself to finish it, but there are too many other books I'd like to give my time to. I may instead give the book away in hopes that it will find a more understanding reader. As a writer myself, I know how important and valuable readers are. I'd like to feel I've given the book a chance to hit THE ROAD and find some happy readers. I'm just not one of them.
