Query: I don't know what the big deal is.

I didn't find this book to be masterfully written or the different stories elaborately woven. I was forcing myself to finish because it was too late to turn back. Toward the end, I thought maybe it would pay off because somehow, the stories would come together and reveal something. That didn't happen. This might be one of those rare cases where the movie might be better than the book.
