I ditched it after a few chapters. It was just an insufferable read. The main character was so milquetoast I just wanted to punch his face.
Now, I almost abandoned The Caine Mutiny at the beginning for similar reasons and that would have been a tremendous mistake. You are intended to dislike Willie Keith at first and he grows over the novel.
I didn't get the feeling Pete Wimsey would do the same. Though I am open to admitting I may be missing a treasure.
