I tried for a week to like this book and made it to 64% of the way through before I decided I didn't want to do it anymore.  The chapters on the homestead with Nora were tolerable and sometimes even enjoyable.  The chapters about the boy with the camel were just plain boring.  I couldn't even read them fluidly.  Had to keep re-reading things to figure out who was speaking or thinking.
