janegrey1553 's review for:
Stone's Fall
by Iain Pears
I borrowed this book a few years ago and it didn't suck me in with the first 20-30 pages, so I returned it. But it has been so highly reviewed for so long that I decided to try again, this time on audio book.
I'm about halfway through (11/25 hrs) and ready to give up. I'm so bored! The intricacies of the business dealings I'm sure are well-done and fascinating to some, but a 45-min commute taken up by an exposition of the brilliance of building an arms empire just isn't doing it for me. And I feel like the characters are caricatures/cliches, and are becoming more so. I just looked thought the reviews and got the gist that there are two more parts to come, but even seeing the general areas where it's headed, I just don't care. Moving on!
