Query: How the heck can people consider this book *good?*

This was the most tiresome, droll, straight-out boring novel that I have ever tried to read...I had to stop reading partway through simply because I was bored to tears. And not only did the plot seem to develop at a snail's pace, but the grammar (yes I know it was told from a street urchin's point of view and that's how he would probably talk) and sheer verbose-ness of the text were horrible as well. I found myself having to read the same page/paragraph two/three times before I could even figure out what Carr was trying to get across!Don't waste your money on this one. Pathetic book.
