Query: Boring!

I'm an avid reader and can usually read a good novel in 2-3 evenings. This, however, took over a week to plod through. I'm in a book club and this novel was chosen as our October novel. I came close to abandoning it about every 10 pages. If it weren't for my club, I would have. The novel lacks depth and is shallow in theme. I was extremely disappointed in the writing style, as I have heard from others that Chevalier is an exceptional writer. Unfortunately, this novel does not reflect her talents.
