At the beginning, all these characters are introduced with nothing to identify who they were and how they fit. There was also nothing to grab your attention to keep you at least interested if not confused about who was who. We almost stopped listening after about 1 hr. We made it through as our night time before sleep book, b/c it put us to sleep every night for about 1 month. There were some funny parts, but as a whole, it was boring. At the end, I was just glad it was over with and had no feeling about the characters or what happened to them. I don’t understand why this book is so popular.
