missing content and story and characters

Quit listening after 4 chapters because I had no character and story to follow. Too many descriptive words with no content in the story.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Poor storyline
Revisado: 01-29-15
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one
What do you think your next listen will be?
Murder mystery or romance
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Sure
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Goldfinch?
I would have it not turn into a crude story with no real reason to keep listening.
Any additional comments?
I wasted a credit buying this useless book. The language became so crude I couldn't listen anymore and the story line is very weak.
