So boring. The writing is too pretentious for me and most characters are incredibly dull.  Almost anything interesting that happens, happens off page. 
Its like we are on the side-lines and not being allowed too much into the 'plot' or the characters psyche, which may be the intention but 500 pages of that is tedious.
