I was recently tempted to buy this book on Amazon, because I had noticed it was really popular for a while now, and I had just read that a mini-series or movie is being made based on it, and I thought it might be something good to read.
So, I started reading reviews of it, on Amazon. While the plot sounded interesting, one reviewer gave an in-depth review and quoted many sentences from it that really changed my mind. The style just seemed so over-flowery, illusions that didn't even make much sense to me, just overblown words and phrases maybe in the attempt to be poetic or artsy, but after reading them, I knew the book was not something I would really enjoy.
I'll give it a pass and watch in in film form, I guess.
