Point Counter Point by Aldous Huxley

DNF about halfway through.
The characters in the story have little to do with each other and there's no obvious plot. I'm not saying it's bad, just not driving me to read further (something that even bad books often succeed in, as I just want to get over with them and/or see how they end). Nobody is endearing enough to want to know more about what happens to them nor what makes them tick, the action and dialogue are not compelling enough, the characters aren't well differentiated and I personally find "all those" endless debates and torments too tiring for a 500-page book about seemingly random people from centuries ago.
I might pick it up at a later point (I did enjoy other works of this author), but by then I hope Netflix picks it up and turns it into a series with great actors, that will have more people joining the debates with their friends.
