Customer Reviews

Awful
Read this book thinking it would be an intelligent read. Really did not like it very confusing and nothing becomes clear at anypoint. All a bit wishy washy for me.

If nobody reads unremarkable books
I really didn't enjoy the book. I found it overly descriptive and not especially interesting. I persevered to the end and was disappointed.

Waste of time.
If the fact that only one person from our book club finished reading the book is an indication of how good it was then that says it all.
