Really just not that impressed with Twain's End. It took considerable effort to complete this novel; I slowly dragged myself through the first 2/3 of the book. My rating and opinion are largely based on two things. One, it is exceptionally difficult to like a book when you cannot stand a single character, and I truly could not stand a single character. Two, although Cullen is clearly a capable author, I found her phrasing, particularly during exposition, quite cumbersome and repellent (for me, at least). Ultimately, this was a disappointing read.
