Helpful Score: 6
Since this was an NYTimes bestseller perhaps I'm just out of touch...BUT... I was hoping this would be an involving serio-comic tale,instead I wound up with a queasy feeling from reading continuous descriptions of depressing grossness and dysfunction. Characters were muddled and I found them all unsympathetic and rather repulsive. If it was funny I missed it altogether..also missed the point of the whole thing. Disappointed in the authors reluctance/inability to create a satisfying ending for any of her characters (or for the reader!)Glad when it was OVER & it left a bad taste so unpleasant I had to grab something friviolous and light to allieviate my grumpy mood and annoyance at myself for reading this damn thing all the way to then end. I do not recommend this book. There are many many other things to read to interest and uplift the mind and provoke constructive thought/humour/ discussion.
All in all I'd rather clean the cat box than read this book again & wish I had done so in the first place!
