I generally enjoy the celebrity book club picks, but I found <em>The Waters</em> so tediously boring I could not force my way through it. From the start, the constant superfluous details and long chapters had me worried, but I kept hoping the narrative might save it once it kicked in. Yet, I ended up disliking all of the characters and found myself dreading picking up the story.&nbsp;I rarely DNF but I just was not into this one at all and decided my time would be better spend elsewhere.
