You know how crime-shows often have cold openings where you follow a person who either gets killed or finds a body after a few minutes? Some of these people I only saw for a few moments had more depths than the characters in this books and I've been with them for what feels like about 2367 pages and 3 years (yeah...it's more 200 pages and 2 weeks...but it is SO BOOOOORING...the manual of our new blender was more exiting)
