I'm in the "haven't read it" group. I wouldn't say I found it confusing or cryptic, just kind of formulaic and boring. Now that I think about it some more, rather like the difference between a story and a history. I understand WHAT happened, just not why I should care.

That's a fair point. However, I was actually thinking of your reaction as akin to finding it "cryptic," because all epics really are the same formula; you need to understand why you should care to enjoy them.
