Query: Couldn't Wait to Finish...

I found this book dissapointing. I see from many other reviews, and from the Pulitzer Board, that I am in the minority. We all have our own tastes. There are plenty of Pulitzer Prize winning novels that I read and wonder "What am I missing here?" This is just one more in that category. The story is slow. The characters are only slightly interesting, but not enough to grab my attention for long. I forced myself to pick up the book at night, counting how many pages until the ending. I skimmed pages at a time when the writing became tedious. I gave the book away. Try "Angle of Repose" by Stegner for an incredible Pulitzer Prize read.
