So I enjoyed the first few pages and I thought, oh, this is intriguing.

It's very atmospheric.

And so I kept waiting for where it was going to go next.

And it seemed like it kept going to the same places or they were very similar places.

It just became very repetitive to me or had a same feeling.

And I didn't enjoy some of the gross descriptions that some people get a big kick out of.

I think I might have appreciated this character more.

the young girl as a person, but I had no opportunities to observe her interacting with others.

And I didn't know this before, but on reflecting about this book and why I didn't like it,

At the very beginning of those books, he lays the groundwork for the rest of the novel by talking about the prehistoric place.

All his books are focused around a place.

So he describes the prehistoric setting in pretty great detail.

And there's no people and no interaction between people.

And

Just when I would think, I can't bear this another minute, he stopped and went on with the story.

And the people came and they began to interact and talk.
