lighthearted medium-paced

The only part of this that feels like a story happens in the first 20 pages, the rest just feels like they needed a longer book.

me and a couple friends wanted to read this before going to see the house in Salem.  I was the only one who made it through, and it took me completely putting down the book and reading another twice.  This is a long, boring slog of a book.
