I was really looking forward to this book, based on the reviews I had read. It features two characters who are involved in working on an encyclopeadic dictionary about 100 years apart. The author clearly loves words, as do I, but I gave up on the book about a third of the way through. My problem was I really did not like either of the protagonists. Maybe I would have grown to love them - or least to have found them interesting - if I had kept going. But, I am past the point in my life where I want to keep going in a book I find a slog, so it just didn't work for me.
