Query: tired and tedious

Rarely does a book come around that manages virtually zero movement from beginning to end. This story is slow, almost unbearably so...the narrative is confusingly told from multiple points of view, and that might be okay if any of them had something interesting to say. Unfortuntely they don't, because the plot is so slow in developing and the characters so lifeless that it leaves the reader with few places to turn- except to the unskilled prose of a first time author that seems so enamored with the sounds of her own voice that she has completely lost any regard for the reader. I wanted to like this book, I really did- but it is hard to embrace a story as poorly executed and ill concieved as this one. Perhaps the author should give up on the histroical constructs and the multiple personalities of the narrator and try being real for a change. There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.
