I LOVED this book, and TRIED to read it w/ BOTH my book clubs. However, I think some members were intimidated by the intro chapters, and we never discussed it w/ either one! It took me a little while to figure out where the author was leading, but it was so WORTHWHILE. It inspired me enough to listen to the music mentioned in it, rent the movies the characters watched....How many books make you want to do that? Alas, I am out of book clubs, but would LOVE to find someone willing to discuss it! There are SO many great topics layered into the storyline.
