Another disappointment!

This is supposed to be a sequel from No Time to Say Goodbye, I didn't like the main character in that book but this time I didn't like any of them.

It is very very slow going because Barclay has to rehash every character from the first book, which I understand to a point but it's going on when you get to page 200 and that's about where I quit.

By that point the plot of the story still wasn't known and the main characters were so dumb, Cyn the mother is in a self pity state and living in an apartment alone, Terry the Dad is trying to parent the 14 yr old Grace who has now developed an attitude a lot like her mother at that age and of course gets into a bad situation but by the time all this is known you've reached page 150+--whew, it just takes forever to get anywhere, it also brings back the bad seed from the first book, Vince, but I've got to say by this point I was bored.
