This selection was chosen for our book club and everyone was excited about reading it, as it had been a popular and talked about book for quite some time now. The book immediately drew me in. I enjoyed the characters, liked the plot, found the writing style to be creative. About 1/2 way through the book my interest began to wane a bit and I found the ending pretty unsatisfying. Similar to nearly all of Oprah's book club selections, this book is depressing and a bit of a downer. Regardless, I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an emotional read.
