The writing is, of course, magnificent, but Warburton was the only character who interested me.

I can't believe how long it has taken me to read this book. It's one of the most difficult reads I've had to go through and I'm actually amazed at myself for having the patience to finish it. (Just to paint a picture, I've read all 12 of Tolkien's extended mythology books in less than a year, and those are written in old English!).
This is one of the most boring books I've ever read. The book doesn't actually begin until well into it's middle, and by then I was already bored out of my skull. James has an annoying tendency to write long phrases and paragraphs that just go from topic to topic without any logic, so you forget how they started when you finally get to the end. The descriptions are way too detailed and, just the opposite, the characters are not built up enough.
I couldn't relate with any of the characters so there was no way I could actually get involved with this story. There was not one likable character in the entire book and I found myself hating all of them (or simply not caring about them) by the end. I just found the entire story stupid and that's not because it lacks a happy ending, but because none of the characters actually does something remarkable.
Waste of time, waste of effort, waste of money. I've never been this mad at a book in my life...

Exquisite writing, it flows beautifully. However, the story went on and on and on giving every minutest detail. I feel that James could have wrapped this up in 200 pages. It needed not to have been that long.
