Ughhhh....I'm glad I listened to this book otherwise I'm not sure I would've made it through it. Many, many others have given belabored reasons as to why this book is a drag. I will just say I agree with comments about plotlines getting started and not finished up. Example, the whole thing with the trip to the Philopsopher's Club. I'm not sure what the point of that was.

I read this because I've heard many people rave about the musical, including many of our local high school students who saw it on a trip to NYC.
