I picked this up because I had heard its name in a positive light over the years. Unfortunately I found the whole thing disappointing and very hard to get through. It has taken me about seven months to finish because it just hasn't engaged me and I have kept putting it down for other things that were more interesting.
I liked the idea of the three parallel story lines in three timelines anchored to one place but they seemed too disjointed to me and when they did eventually join up I had no idea what was happening. I feel like I had just tuned out at that point though and just wanted to get through the thing so my completionist mentality no longer had to worry about it.
