Query: Huh?

I clearly missed something the other reviewers got. I consider myself fairly well-read and I'm always up for a challenge. However, this book lost me. It seemed to me like it tried to be/do/say too much--and kind of failed. The humor was dim, the plot jagged and depressing. One scene in particular was so horrible I had to put the book down--though I do have to give it to the author for being able to render such horror so intensely. Overall, it left me feeling hollow.
