I can respect a book that makes me read 250 pages of a single sentence but it wasn't going *anywhere* and I have so many other books I could be reading. I think either there needed to be SOMETHING going on or it to be quarter of the length.

I do think the rating is going to be wayyyyy out of wack because of this - nobody is coming close to finishing this for less than a "5/5 this is a masterpiece" and I imagine it's only as low as 4.1 because people are marking it 'read' to give it 1/5.
