Query: Disappointing

I cannot understand the wide appeal of this book. Obviously, a lot of the reviewers here loved it. I wanted to love it, too, having heard wonderful things about the book and the author; but after forcing myself through about 250 pages, I just had to give up. By that point, I couldn't muster the slightest interest in the characters or anything they did. Chabon's brand of humor did not appeal to me and the mystical aspects of the book seemed more preposterous than magical (unlike some other books I've loved, like Love in the Time of Cholera). I guess I missed something, but this book bored me more than anything I've read in years.
