Too many words describing mundate things.  I liked the story but it gets tiresome plowing through
 boring conversations and pointless descriptions.

The story was interesting about the lives of the Light house keepers.
But the story was drawn out with far too much of the child's character and dialogue I found it a little boring. However I did have to see how the story ended, so I guess that is a plus.

The story line was good, but way to much detail on little things in the book that become pain stakeingly boring.

I liked the story line. Characters were mostly well defined. I like the descriptions of the people and the conditions in which they lived. Too often stories only deal with the aristocratic members of society. The author let the story get out of hand several times but mostly stayed straight. What I disliked the most was the use of vocabulary. I do however, understand that this was a translation. Too often the author repeats facts about the characters . The repetition is distracting and appears at times that the author has lost his way.

The story started out very interesting but got very repetitive. I am not one that has a problem stopping mid-book if it horrible but I didn't have to do it in this case. It was not the most interesting thing that I have read, but it wasn't the worst either. It did get a little better at the end.

The story is a good one.  I wish the author wouldn't have kept repeating herself though...  Found that I could skip paragraphs of repeated information.

I'm still reading it, but there is a lot of repetition about who is Edom!! It get's to be tiresome.

The story was good but it went on way too long when describing the character's thoughts and feelings. By the middle of the book I found myself skipping a lot of the "fluff" while reading because it became boring. I'm not saying cut all the fluff, just don't drag it on forever. I was also disappointed at the amount of times "gd" was used. It is a needless an offensive explicit that could have been left out and the story would have been better.

Originally I liked this series, but it went on way too long and became overly repetitious.

This story is too long, and too full of the characters agonizing over one thing or another. It got tedious.

the author spends way too much time trying to be too funny all the time---after a while it gets old--story was ok and he is a great writer, with a great vocabulary but like I said, the funiness is just overkill

This book weaves a good story but it takes way too long to get to the meat of it. The author uses too many ten dollar words and includes side stories that aren't really necessary to the plot. Take away the unnecessary side stories and its a great book.

It's a good plot but the story drags too much.. and  i believe it's been made that way too make it longer; however, the results are it is boring and it lost its appeal.

I found the exposition a bit tedious. I liked the new developments in the story but somehow I wasn't super impressed.

The story is not only convoluted, it is too long, tiresome and ultimately boring. I read 80% and decided the remaining portion was not worth my time. If I become desperate for something to read, I may go back and see how it ends.

While the story line is a decent continuation of the saga, I found myself getting extremely bored, and then frustrated, by the the continual re-explanations of past events and characters as well as with the pontification of the various lines of thinking represented by the characters.

I took it in stride and liked the first 100 pages, but  beyond that it became repetitive and tedious.
