If I am still not sure that I like it, and I'm at least mildly annoyed, does that mean I'm just "not getting it?" Or does it mean it's actually a fairly annoying book to read?

There are some sections of very pretty writing, with really interesting metaphors, etc. But there are also sections that I'd almost rather punch myself in the face than read again. On the other hand, I feel as though I should read them again, because surely I must be missing something.

How many of you have read this? And how did you feel about it?
