Query: Boring and confusing -- NOT a good summer read

I hate to admit that I have yet to finish this book, especially since I NEVER put books aside in frustration. This one became an exception, as the overabundance of characters, jumpy storytelling, and boring name-dropping (and unless you live in the Hamptons, you don't even realize names are being dropped) really tried my patience. I was really looking forward to this novel and was extremely disappointed. If I'm ever really hard up for a read I may try and finish this someday, but more likely I'll re-read an old favorite instead.
