For me, the first third to half of the book was really bad. I realize that the stage and story had to be set, but it was really boring. The second half was better, but I just never found it to be anything special. By the time I finished, I was SO tired of reading a book narrated by an incredibly precocious 5 year old, that I thought I'd never finish.

I'm stunned at the hype and awards that this book has garnered. In my opinion, it was just not worth it.
