Blue sky, green trees.

Nothing happens in this book! Rambling descriptions that go on for literally pages that make you forget the topic of the paragraph(s). Sentences that contain parentheticals that themselves last for half a page. All this in the service of literally no plot. NO PLOT. I hated this book.
