I did not like this book at all. Nothing about it was interesting, touching or memorable. Boring plot, if you could find one, no characterization development, no thread of suspense, nothing to care about. I have never reacted this strongly about any book and it is all negative. I only read it through because it was our book club choice and I want to hear what others say. I have been an avid reader since childhood and love books but this one just did not hit any good notes with me.
