I get it. I'm impressed. Sandoz seems to know what she's talking about. But I'm not enjoying it and there are so many other books begging for my attention, I've decided not to finish. (I did skip to the end, as I usually do on DNFs, and it really doesn't look like I missed any surprising development or anything.)
