I'm listening to the book, and after 16 hours of listening, I couldn't tell you what the plot of this book is, so I decided to give up. I hate giving up on books because I feel like the book won, but I was just so bored, and I felt like the story was going nowhere, and I just couldn't keep going. I understood what each character was doing, but I had no idea what the over-arcing plot was or would be.
I really wanted to enjoy this book because I know that all my friends love it, and I do feel like I'm letting them down by not enjoying it, but I can't keep going on with this book. I'm so sad to be stopping, but I gave it a lot of time and have other books to read and listen to instead.

I'm hoping his other books are better because he is the most popular author amongst my friends, and I can't be the only person who doesn't like his books.
