Query: A difficult Read

I found this book a very difficult read. It was interesting only in the beginning, but as you went on and discovered more and more characters and plots it became difficult to follow, uninteresting and depressing. I kept hoping for the mother to redeem herself with her children as she kept begging forgiveness from God each time she harrassed and mentally abused them. This redemption never came and it was very disappointing. Omar Duvall was shallow and easy to see through and although all of the characters repeatedly realized this, they never made a move. Not worth the effort of wading through such a long book.
