I don't know if I can be bothered finishing this and I'm nearly at the end! It's about 4 times as long as it needs to be and between the in game chat, emails and twitter posts I have no idea who is who. Too many characters, would be better with fewer and more developed.

Disappointed that this book was more about Michael than Philomena, not helped by the post movie jacket design and title change. (I haven't seen the film but had heard about it.) The cover showing them apparently sat together is misleading and this would have been better titled 'A story of American politics and the development of AIDs in the late 20th century.' (Having now seen the original title does make a bit more sense.)
