Query: Sick and Boring

I got through a little over half of this book before I decided that all the hype did not mean the book was good (and certainly not a "classic") and put it down for good. In fact, I thought it was bad and a big waste of my time. The sex was sick, the story a drag. I wish I had read the Amazon customer reviews before I started. I never would have started.
