After reading 240 of 530 pages, I finally gave up. It wasn't that I didn't like the book; I just didn't like it enough to continue reading when I have so many other alternatives. I have read some of Carroll's other novels and also some of his non-fiction and enjoyed them more than this one. So I just gave up!
