lengthy and somehow missing the icing on the cake

A 5 Star novel is for me definitely not.
For the story I do not want to say much, except that it seemed to me she was quite expandable and the basic idea I liked.
Ultimately, however, the execution seems to me not really succeeded. At no point does the story really sleep swing on, let alone relationships are clear. It seems everything tells a bit superficial meaning was as if the idea was, it said, but the Teifgang was missed, possibly because not enough thought has gone into the concoction.
Many passages in the novel (the upturned table was mentioned by another reviewer) are just a little detached from history hanging freely there and could - with appropriate preparation - much lends even make more sense, so it is rather a series of individual events, although a History showed the will but never told coherently.
I've been waiting all the time that something is resolved, but unfortunately it was not like that.
Overall, the book has left me rather unsatisfied, clearly we can say that only partially takes place clarify the backgrounds and contexts is intended to keep the history of mysterious, personal for me but it was too little. Mysterious and unclear for me are still a considerable difference.
Too Bad.
