I hated this book !!! I was looking forward to reading this book after all the glowing reviews and to my dismay, I could not finish it. It was almost painful to pick it up. I found myself at page 309, falling asleep and thought ... 'that's it I am not wasting another moment on this book. I found it very wordy, the characters lacking and just plain boring. This book deserves to be placed on the shelf and forgotten. Am I missing something here … I hated this book !!!
