the story line
not sure if anyone else is reading this
but I might have to give it up if it doesn't liven up!
There is a lot of detail, but I kind of liked that!

I regret to announce, I have stopped reading it. I shall keep my opinions to myself until it comes to us discussing it properly. However, I will say that after getting about half way I had lost interest, and felt (like others) that the amount of detail was detracting from the plot.
