Query: Absolutely depressing an pointless.

I was sorely dissapointed in this book after reading _To Say Nothing of the Dog_ I had to check and make sure it was the same lady who wrote that wonderful book. I found the characters to be fairly well developed but they were just so /stupid/ that I couldn't bring myself to feel anything for them at all. The ending was just depressing. Overall I found it to be written well enough but just not all that interesting.
