This book was different, which everyone in our book club agreed apon. Some members liked it, some didn't care for it, but regardless I was glad we read it. There was more than one time that I said to myself "wow, didn't see that coming". Because our group was pretty much split down the middle on this one, I would recommend it to any book club. If nothing else you'll be glad that your own life isn't as complicated as the life of the lead character in this book (or I hope not).
