I probably wasn't completely fair on this book because I read it knowing it wouldn't really be for me. I'd just heard so much about it over the last few years and was curious. It wasn't my kind of story but I'm glad I read it. I found parts of it interesting even if others frustrated me. I listened to the audiobook which was really well narrated by Julia Whelan so that definitely helped.
