I really tried.

I finally decided it was time to succumb to my gut instinct and give up on reading "Daughter of God." I was hoping that it would deal with some of the same concepts as "The DaVinci Code" and while it does offer some interesting new perspectives on organized religion and the decline of the goddess, it is just not well written! I would be on an "intense" scene or some key plot point and just couldn't muster any real interest in the book. I have this thing about not finishing books that I've started, but I just don't want to finish this one. It's all so obvious. I moved on to James Patterson's "2nd Chance." Now that is compelling intense reading! I actually wish I was reading it when I'm not, in comparison with wishing I wasn't reading while trying to read "Daughter of God." Too bad.
