Query: Very disappointing

I don't understand why most of the reviews of this book have been positive. I found it boring and couldn't finish it. The writing is lazy and sloppy and shows all the signs of an author who is cranking them out or rushing to meet a deadline. The conversations are dull, lacking in wit and imagination. The characters are totally unappealing. I bought the book thinking that it would have a nice atmosphere -- an aura of mystery and ancient Ireland. But the author is writing too fast and too carelessly to stir up any atmosphere. This book is a waste of time and money.
