Query: Couldn't finish it

This is the second Tad Williams book I've attempted and it will also be the last. It's not that I can't read long books - see my other reviews. Based on all the positive reviews for Tad I thought there must be something worthwhile. I attempted The Dragonbone Chair and just couldn't get through it. I thought that since Otherland was written later, maybe Tad had gotten better. Nope. It's not that he's a bad author, he just isn't good. The storyline is decent enough. Unfortunately the author doesn't offer anything to keep me reading. He doesn't have interesting characters, there's nothing smart, witty, alluring... anything to keep me going. He took a decent premise and didn't add anything to it.
