I really loved the first part but I’m not enjoying the interviews, I’m stuck. What am I missing here? :(

Keep reading. The First part continues in the Third part. The interviews are what happens after the Third part.

The part narrated by a lawyer who keeps inserting irrelevant legal terms into his story goes on forever and really grinds things to a halt.

Chronologically it's: Part 1, Part 3, Part 2. Part 2 is the aftermath of Part 3. Have you read the book?

chronologically yes.

But thats not the only logic that matters.

if you want to find out what's outside the box, you must continue reading. currently, it sounds like you are very much only a box player. perhaps but the book down for a bit and come back in a year or two

Keep going, as the others have said. The 2nd part will slowly grow on you. Some of the characters are irritating because they're supposed to be.

what you're missing is what the book is about. the actual story is told through omission and reconstruction
