Query: Goes to sleep half way through

This is no "Snow Falling on Cedars". The story arc peters out about half way through and the reader is left with a lot of wonderful descriptions of the rain forest, but little character development or plot. A lot of the negative reviews had to do with religious issues. I don't think the author did much more than throw around a couple of cliches about Mary worship in the Catholic church. His approach was too weak to even warrent taking offense.I found this book in the give-away bin of the local library... I put it back after I read it. It's not worth buying.
