Query: what is boring about this book?

I could not even read the whole book! I read the beginning, middle, and end. I believe many of those chapters could have been ripped out, and the book would be the same, but less boring. I was made to read it at school. The detail went COMPLETELY over the top. It took yep three pages to describe the climbing up a hill as a "family". It was also kind of sappy in places, and went much too far into the whole family life thing. This book is for someone who has a lot of extra time on their hands.
