I tried to read this years ago and found it quite boring. I was pretty young then and didn't really care for the theology. I prefered stories with action, which this book certainly does not have. I gave it a few years break and recently tried my hand at reading it. I LOVED it! So much in fact that I'm going to read it again. It's a book that makes you think and reflect. If you don't have an appreciation/taste for such things then this book may feel like a drag. I suggest you give it a few years before picking it up again. (less)
