It's too bad that you didn't like this more. I'm curious as to what you didn't like about it. I think I rated it a 4.5/5.
It is hard to pinpoint why I didn't rate it higher as there wasn't anything I really disliked about it but there was also nothing I loved about it either. I was disappointed as everyone raves about this book so I was expecting to like it more.
