I got about halfway through the book before I called it. I thought I could force my way through it, but the main character's issue hasn't been divulged to the reader and so it's just not worth my time. The characters are 2-D at best maybe. I like the historical plot but not the modern plot since it hasn't gotten to a cresendo in an appropriate amount of time I feel. Maybe others will like it but it isn't for me.
