I read about 100 pages of Passage, by Connie Willis. I really liked Doomsday Book. But Passage was typing, not writing. Dialogue and inner monologue that repeated itself, the complicated hallways and stairways of the hospital. After 100 pages the setup still had gone nowhere, and as a reader I just kept thinking, “So far this is all fluff… i could have gotten the character and background in a few well-written pages. This is just making the reader wade through stuff because… the author is getting paid by the word?” At least Dickens introduced new characters and plot. This just went on and on. So I checked out the Goodreads one star comments and guess what? Exactly my thoughts! So I knew then it was time to abandon the book. Do not recommend unless you are on a 10 hour airplane flight.
