I agree with you. I was unable to finish this book.

I think that's a good description of it. Thank you for identifying my issue with it.

I'm truly glad you enjoyed it. Just proves that everyone has different tastes in books, which is a good thing!

Repetitive is a good word for it.

That was my experience with the book, also. I buy most of the books I read (from a charity resale shop), so I rarely DNF one.

Thank you. I had considered reading another of hers just to test if I'm missing something. Now I'll skip those.

Thank you. I read voraciously, and there have been many classics that I absolutely adore. But that's part of the fun of reading - making up your own mind about the books!

I know that it is acknowledged as a beautifully written book. I am allowed to disagree with that opinion, even if I am the only one who does. And I am allowed to finish a book I don't think I care for to see if I change my mind. I will definitely read something else, and I will be making up my own mind as to whether I agree with the critics on that one also. And possibly posting on this site about my opinion.
