To a person, everyone in our book club was disappointed with this book. Because the author of the Kite Runner had given it a glowing recommendation, we were anxious to read it. We found it dreary, pointless and without much merit.

When I started reading this book I was astounded that people were raving about it. After 100 pages or so, the story had a sea change and became riveting. I really enjoyed the story, and know that it is going to create lots of discussion at my book club.

I enjoyed the story: it was a woman\'s realization that she was in control of her destiny.

Members of the group felt that the main idea of the book was true and believable. There was little/no scientific to back up the ideas in the book. We were in agreement that the premise was accurate.

I was disappointed in this book. It read like a Ladies Home Journal article. There was no depth to it. The cast of characters was HUGE. I believe that if the book had focused in on just a few of the wives and given us a more in-depth look at their lives it would have been more satisfying.
