I'm about 1/2 done and I'm deciding if I should just stop of keep going. It's a rather confusing book. It has no cohesion. It's all over the place. Sylvie and Bruno are not all that likable and Uggug and his parents are awful. I'm not all that find of the two professors. Father just seems to abandon the kids. I don't see one redeemable characteristic of any of the lot.

Yes, I did mention that the preface was off-putting. I tried to read it and I could not get through it. it was preachy and dry and boring and brings nothing to the book. Granted, the book doesn't bring much to the reader.
