Query: Well . . .

This book lacked the ability to captivate the reader. The plot is dull, the style is not boring but a bit tedious to go through. But perhaps being forced to read this book would take away from its delights. I found the protagonist's coming-of-age quite cliche. All-in-all, it had it's moments, but failed to keep the reader interested.
