Review: Where's the book the other reviewers read???
Rating: 2 out of 5

I tried for two weeks to read this book & like it. Halfway thru I finally accepted that its just not gonna happen. I usually read 2-4 books a week on average so only getting halfway thru after 2 weeks is very uncommon. I only persisted in trying to finish it because of all the glowing reviews.I enjoy a good build-up like anybody but, it should keep you engaged. I fell asleep EVERY TIME I picked this book up. The insignificant & redundant information just bored me to tears. For example, how many times must the type of a "swivel chair" be mentioned?? Ugh. And referring to something by a name & not explaining what it meant until chapters later, really? Why?I saw other reviewers likening this book to Stephen King, unless they meant Tommyknockers (SNORE), I'm not seeing it.I don't usually review books I find unfavorable but I felt a need to fill in others so they don't come away feeling like I did. To strike a slight balance since most of these reviewers gush on in a way that leaves me feeling as though they read a completely different story than I did, or tried to. You may like it but, you may not.
