Query: Just a difficult read

I didn't want to give it one star but it just wasn't deserving of two stars.I'm a Glen Cook fan and even went through the expense of e-bay auctions to fill out my collection of Garrett novels. So seeing this on the shelves last year I picked it up and began reading. Then put it down.Months later I tried again. Stopped after 40-50 pages and put it down again. My son (also a Garrett fan) started it and slogged through to the end. I tried once more and gave up at about the same spot.Finally this year I got tired of looking at it on the end table and began once more. Worked my way through it and tried to decide just what it was about it that didn't work and gave up.I doubt that I would read the sequel, I know I wouldn't buy it, and I doubt that I would go through the trouble to request a copy at the library.I donated the hard back I bought to the local library.
