" It was interesting, but moved so slowly that I had to work at reading it, which I don't enjoy doing. It also reminded me of my own growing-up experience relative to a kind, older, unattainable man. I didn't enjoy that remembering, either. Oh well, and anyway, I would like to know what happens in the next book! Somehow I trust it will be more satisfying. "
