I spent most of this book trying to find something compelling about it. I kept reading with the hope that at least one of the characters would become interesting enough for me to keep reading. 
When that didn't happen by halfway through the book, I kept going in hopes that the monsters at least would prove interesting rather than your generic run of the mill monster-that-attacks-you. Again, this was not the case. 
It was a good attempt, but I just couldn't enjoy it.
