Couldn't get into this book. Read until page 80 and gave up! Boring.....

I had trouble getting started with this book. It could not hold my interest, but I decided to complete it and I glad I did. Once all the people and places fell into place, it was a great read and captivated me completely. Did not end at all as I expected.

I think that I liked this more than most I've talked to about this book. Yes, most of the characters were self-absorbed and a bit annoying at times but I found it a bit amusing when these characters collided getting in each others' way. "They deserved each other," I told my mother who was also reading this story and was finding their selfishness tiresome.
Though I understand why one might feel indignant toward these annoying people on behave of the few redeeming characters that found themselves hindered by the plethora of 'take, take, take...' personalities. I actually was pleased to see that the more likable characters simply moved on. They took the knocks, said, "to hell with this", and found a way step away on their own terms. It was refreshing.

Outrageously silly and overwritten. The plot had some promise and some comic moments, but it got too ridiculous for me and I quit reading for something I would actually enjoy.

I tried to like this book, but got lost in it about 2/3s of the way through and though I read the rest, I wasn't enjoying it.
