I started it a while ago but put it down and haven't started again since. I don't remember it being that bad, though; maybe a little flowery. What did you hate about it so much?

The further you go, the worse it gets. 50 page sections where a seemingly insurmountable problem is developed and then resolved in half a page with a Deus Ex Machina, entire chapters and episodes that do nothing to serve the advancement of the plot (or any of the book's dubious 'themes'), secondary characters that have no purpose existing, schlocky, forced, predictable romances, a protagonist who disappears for four hundred pages (no, I'm not joking), labored slapstick comedy, an antagonist who vanishes after the first twenty pages only to return six hundred pages later at the end of the novel...

I could go on. Floweriness is the least of my complaints.

Forget to mention, total lack of character development.
The most well-developed characters occasionally attain two-dimensionality.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I had been thinking about starting it again in a bit but now I'm reconsidering.

You fell for the high school english class meme.

Excuse me for not thinking it's a mark of literary craftsmanship when a novel's characters remain static for 700+ pages.
