Query: Tough to get through

This was one of my least favorite of Irving's novels. I found it kind of hard to read, but I can't put my finger on why- it just felt clunky and I wasn't drawn into the story like I normally am. I had no problems putting this book down and it took me a long time to get through. Normally I have to read Irving's books straight through because I can't put them down! Maybe I just didn't "get it".
