I have this book at home, and for some reason I just can't get into it. I guess I find it kind of boring. Anyone else feel this way??

I loved the book too. Just stick with it. Once you get past the beginning you'll find yourself captivated by the story.
shareOk...lol I'll try again =) Thanks y'all

I agree the beginning is in fact quite slow! But, once you get into it it is fantastic!
shareI bought the book a few years ago and it was only just today when I actually finished it because before I kept putting it down as the start was so slow! It was worth it in the end :)
shareBut the beginning is one of the best parts! "I write this sitting in the kitchen sink."
shareI did like the book, but couldn't understand my odd attraction as it is not to my usual taste. I have not seen the movie, so cannot comment on that.
Perhaps it is a book that might appeal more to women who have read a lot and who enjoy British humor. It has an odd setting with eccentric characters, odd events, and very dated manners/customs.
Some things are strangely funny--I laughed out loud but wasn't sure that spot was intended to be funny--some things are poignant, some a little theatric or adolescently dramatic (suited to ages of characters), some kind of romantic.
The unusual combination of elements kept me curious, interested, and surprisingly entertained. An odd mixture that captured me while Cassandra captured the castle and some guideposts for her life. Am recommending this as a selection for my local book club.

I got the book about a year ago and started it, but didn't get very far. However, the second time I picked it up, I continued to read it nonstop and loved it. I guess you just have to be in the mood for the style of writing. I'd say maybe put it down and give it a second chance at some point.
