Query: Not worth the short amount of time it takes to read it

I read this book in under 3 hours, simply because I just wanted to get it finished. I don't give up on a book, even one as awful as this.Truly, I sensed no emotion and very little depth. The story is not remotely interesting and the characters are nothing but names. It is completely dull and did not make me wonder once what was going to happen next. I could not have cared less.The people who find this book amazing and thought provoking and worthy of deep discussion are reading into things just aren't there, or even hinted at. There's just nothing to this story.Schlink, on pg 118, has the narrator referencing another book. Of it, he says, "It does not invite one to identify with it and makes no one sympathetic..." I smiled as soon as I read those words because he had just described his own book perfectly.Don't bother with this one.
