I haven't been able to get more than 10 or 12% through and I have lost the desire to read. Not just this, but in general. The book is depressing and boring. I didn't care about the characters or anything else in the book.

The last time a book so severely affected my enjoyment of reading was The Luminaries. It just made me hate reading, a hobby that I normally love.

Will this book be for you? Give it a shot. It seems that other people like it, so it must just be a taste thing. I'll pass.
