Benny & Shrimp: A Novel by Katarina Mazetti
 
Book Club Recommended
Interesting, Insightful, Romantic
Benny and Shrimp

Interesting examination of a relationship--every other chapter was the other partner's point of view on the same situation. Ending came out of nowhere and seemed odd, but would be interested in reading the sequel to see where the author goes from there.

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
 
Book Club Recommended
Dark, Dramatic, Interesting
The Reliable Wife

The setting is very dark, however, true to a time in history and therefore interesting. Complicated, twisted plot. Lots to talk about at book club.

 
Confusing, Beautiful, Difficult
The God of Small Things

I had no idea what exactly was going on in the book. Actually, no one in the book club seemed to understand much about the book. Excessive description bogged down the chapters. Quite the effort to pick it up to read--felt like I needed either an authority on Indian history, politics and life or a "cliff note" type guide to know what the point was.

The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel by Barbara Kingsolver
 
Book Club Recommended
Informative, Adventurous, Insightful
The Poisonwood Bible

Very complicated. Last third dragged quite a bit. A very involved story--good for a book club that likes very complicated books to analyze.
