Query: I hoped it would get better...

...but it never did. The big secret was a let down, and the characters were void, "numb" was the word the author used. This book is alright for those who have a good imagination and can fill in the emotions and motives of the characters, but isn't that the writer's job? To be fair, there were a few pages in the book that should be read twice because they are quite profound (and there is also a need to get something for your time), but as a whole, the book may have lost itself in the translation.
