I have to admit that I really didn't like this book. I'm not sure exactly why, but it just put me to sleep. I really didn't care much about the characters and the subject matter just left me cold. It was hard to actually finish.
It could have something to do with the fact that I read most of it while in the hospital with my wife and then while nursing her back to health at home. She's better now, but was really not well for about 10 days. I likely should have picked up something else to read, but I'd already started and just wanted to get through it.
I just couldn't get past Alexandria's character. For me she just seemed like a generic character, like an extra in a movie that for some reason the camera lingered too long on and the movie accidentally became about her.
