Query: Could not finish ...

Okay, I REALLY tried, but put the book down at 200 pages. It is TEDIOUS, repetative (in desperate need of further editing) and no matter what I did, I could not find an ounce in me to care about even one character in this book. The characters are so unlikeable, I no longer cared what the outcome was. Also, all the "darker nation" and "paler nation" stuff really was tiresome and over-used. I'm in an interracial relationship and my partner and I both thought that was just bizarre. And he didn't really say anything new or interesting about the law academic scene. I know there was something important in there he was "trying" to say about race, especially the elite African American society, but I did not care enough to find out. Good luck those who forge through this.
