Of Bees and Mist

I had heard some really enthusiastic things about this book which made me want to read it, but I couldn't get past the first 50 pages. The parts I read were drowning in purple prose and there was a huge lack of a plot. Nothing was happening and it was just really boring.
The cover is nice and it made me want to buy it (along with all the positive comments I had heard), but the book went nowhere fast and it felt like reading high school poetry in parts. I could feel that the author was setting up the story but it just took much too long and was really drawn out. Pacing-wise, this is just too slow for me.
Maybe I will try to pick it up again one day. Maybe.

Nothing I can think of off the top of my head. It's very surreal - which is part of the appeal of the story.
Give it another try, it's great!
