Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Are you kidding me?

I have just reread all the reviews, now that I have finished the first two books for myself, and I'm mystified by all the glowing praise. I'm a long-time fantasy and scifi fan, but this just didn't grab me. I found the characters flat, unengaging, and frankly uninspiring. The events were difficult to follow, and unfold more as after the fact this is what's been going on rather than taking you along to discover it for yourself. There was no sitting on edge of the seat waiting the next revelation it was more like riding in the back seat asking "are we there yet?" "is it over yet?"I understand there will be a third book, but I won't be bothering with it.
