I am so glad I'm not the only one who had a hard time with this book. I keep plodding on hoping it will get better, but there's nothing so far that makes me want to stick with it. I rarely put Book down without finishing it, but am afraid that's where this one is going.

I just could not get into the characters.  I had a hard time wanting to continue reading the story past the first few chapters.

Good but hard to get into...

I really love a lot of Butcher's writing but I find this is hard to get into. There are so many terms that mean nothing until I got fairly far into the book. That makes it harder to really get into the story. There are some interesting characters, however, who keep you fighting through the unfamiliar terms.

I have purchased all of David's past books ... this one is extremely difficult for me to really sink-in to. I am having a difficult time being inspired to read his words ... ugh ... I keep wishing and hoping it'll grab my attention, but so far ... not. I can't seem to connect with his words and having a tough time getting past the 4th Chapter. Unfortunately, there's no way to return this via Kindle ... or can I?

I admit it. I had a tough time getting through this book. While the premise and the characters were fine, the writing was too tedious for my taste - maybe it's because my ability to handle British English is worse than I thought. Not that I can write any better (because I can't), but it was tough to get engrossed with the protagonist's adventure. There were so many descriptions. I can't imagine a typical 8-year-old enjoying this book.

However, you can check for yourself. As of the time of my review, most of the book's content seem to be available for you to read with Amazon's "iook inside" feature - don't judge the grammatical errors because you're viewing a preview text. I do hope you enjoy it more than I did.

This a hard book to get into--actually I stopped listening to it for a while.  Hopefully I will be able to get through it the second time.

This was one of those books that I found very difficult to get into.  Every author's work is a labor of love so I don't want to say anything negative about this book.  It maybe one of the best books you've ever read, but for me, it just wasn't doing it for me. I sincerely hope the book does well.  I recommend that you review all the reviews for this book and try to see if you can get to take it for a test drive with the see whats inside the book feature to see if this is something that fits your needs.

Three times I've tried to get into this book, but I find the start very slow and it once I put it down, I don't come back for a week or more.  Hot cover.  Cold opening.

It was really difficult for me to get into this book and once i did it was, eh. It's not one of those books that makes you want to read it again.

I have unabridged audio. 14 CDS and I struggled to get through 3. Tonight I am ejecting disks from player and moving on to something more entertaining. This was dreadfully slow. Was so surprised to see overwhelmingly positive reviews when it made my eyes glaze over. Got so bored it was hard to feign interest in characters.

Having a hard time getting through a little too juvenile for my taste.

I just had a really difficult time staying interested. There were many descriptive passages of history and society and it was so overwhelming. I wish there had been more action. I felt like I was constantly just reading the backstory. It seemed like it could have been a really cool story. I tried so hard to get through, just couldnt.

It was hard for me to get in to this book for some reason.  I found it hard to relate to the characters, and the story was just not to my liking.  I finished the book because I always finish a book I start, but it is not a book, I would say to myself, I will put this on my I want to read this again in 5 years list which I do with favorite books.

I found the book very hard to get into and I love history.  I will try again to read it, maybe this time I'll make it through.
