Cathedral: Ben Hopkins by Ben Hopkins

Perhaps it is because I am tired, but enough is enough.
This book is interesting in a way. It tells about people, all positioned around building a cathedral, all in their own way. It is about squabbles and money mostly, and about how the money uses the people instead of the other way around.
There are too many characters and too many points of view though. This makes everything seem hasty. Never is there time to get to really know a character and get invested in their story, and on we go. Starting to get interested in this point of view? And on we go, next! And back to the first, and on to the fourth, and ... where were we again? I can take so much before I just give up. 75% in, and I still am not invested in any of the characters enough to care how this book will end.
