and yet i continued to read it. page after page. chapter after agonizing chapter. I read it all. the whole time thinking: "where the hell is this stupid meandering story going?" and in the end i wasn't disappointed....it ended as poorly as it began. (it was called Wicked! BTW. her exclamation point, not mine)
took me forever too, and I'm a fast reader. that's a week i'll never get back.
