    I know I’m in the minority here, but I gave it a 2. I have never really understood the love for this book.

    Don't worry I put 2 as well. I tried reading this once. Maybe I shouldn't have started with the complete and uncut, because I fount it bloated and just drawing out for no reason.
    That said I couldn't even finish it. Got to book three and had so little interest that I set it down and forgot everything of what has happened. I have read the comics for it twice and still can barely remember the story.

    I gave it a 4 but certainly agree with it being bloated and drawn out. That's why I couldn't go higher. I still really enjoyed the story though.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I'm one of the two people so far that has yet to read this one. I read about 400 pages maybe 10 years ago but never finished. I really should try to get to it this year.
