Finally!

It's happened. The book that I have been complaining about since the Break, the one that was slow and I was having a hard time getting into, well I reached 50% today with it. Now, I am having a hard time putting it down and am currently over 75%. It took me one day to go this last 25% and almost 2 weeks to go the first 50%! I have finally become invested and interested in the characters. My perception and impression of the book has changed. I have finally been drawn into this book. I want to know what happens to the main characters. Will they find happiness? Will their questions get answered?

I wish it didn't take so long, but here's what I'm thinking, and you may not like it, some times you have to just slog through a book that should hold your interest and see if your thoughts change. You may be surprised or you may be horribly disappointed. If you keep going, though, you will have an answer and you will have knowledge to back up your opinion.
