Query: A yawn

I picked up this book with its attractive cover expecting an intriguing fantasy about dragons. The jacket flap assured me that this was a story about a fellow who moves into a mysterious house full of dragon figurines that come to life. Great, I thought, should be fun. But inside I found a long, slow, tedious grind of a read about a geeky british room renter, a put-upon landlady, a whiny little girl obsessed with squirrels, and a nasty neighbor. Much more than half the book goes by before there are any dragons worth mentioning; they certainly take their sweet time coming to life. Instead we mostly get endless silly exploits about trying to rescue a squirrel with one eye from being trapped by a suburban neighbor. I'm still not sure why the reader is supposed to care. Heck with the squirrels, let's have the dragons. The writing seems flat and contrived, and the whole thing lacked much magic or fun until waaaay towards the end.
