Query: Disappointing...

I purchased this book because I read a review that compared the style of writing to one of my favorite books, "A Trip to the Stars" by Nicholas Christopher. I was also impressed by the incredible accolades and heartfelt devotion displayed by so many reviewers. I'm only 150 pages deep into this 700-page behemoth and each page is an uphill struggle with boredom. I haven't disliked a book this much in such a long time and I truly can't figure out where the wide-spread appeal stems from. The only reason I continue to read it is because I want to get my [money]out of it. I fear I'm only torturing myself and paying even more. I don't find the language beautiful,nor is the story compelling. The descriptions are tiresome and I CANNOT stand how the author addresses almost every character by their first and last name.
