Drood

I had to give up on this one. I just couldn't get into it. It reads like an actual Dickens novel, and I am not a Dickens fan. And the narrator is so whiny and seems fairly unreliable. I am interested in the mystery about Drood, but the plot moved at a snail's pace. There are so many great books in the world, and I'm just not up to slogging through nearly 800 pages of random exposition.
