I'd be willing to slog through more than 50 pages of this if a) the sentences weren't just long for the sake of being long or b) there was some sort of plot, maybe a character or two, or something happening. I just couldn't take it. Maybe that's the genius of it all. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/402255?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
