Terribly written, story did not go anywhere. I kept trying to read it until my husband asked me if I was enjoying my book and I realized how stupid I was being, so I threw the book away. Not even good enough to give away or try to sell. NOT WORTH READING
the synopsis of this book made me think it would be so much more than what it was ... i didnt think there was any 'story' to it .. it just seemed to be a narration of the lives of a few women ...
Sounded interesting but isn't. Quite disappointing. No plot to keep you interested. I hate not finishing a book, but I don't think I can bear to waste my precious reading time on something I am not all that interested in.
Slow moving with lots of unnecessary verbage. So many in our book club did not finish reading it!
My book club is a group of stay at home moms and yet none of us could relate to these characters. I don't see how it was a "Ten Year Nap" exactly and I certainly can't see what all these women awakened to after this 10 year period.
I found it hard to relate to the characters.
The book was a fairly easy read for me, but I know others in our group had a hard time getting through it. The character development seemed a little lacking...the the character's behavior sometimes annoying. It wasn't really "my kind of book" but it did make for a really good discussion due to the content.
It was a chore to finish and I had absolutely no interest in these characters There was maybe one interesting incident in restaurant which never came to much. I am an avid reader a book this size usually takes me 2-3 days this took me 2-3 weeks. I thought I would like the book due to the subject as I am a stay at home mom but it wasn't relevant to me in the least
I agree with most of the reviewsd. Though I did finish it and I wouldn't toss it out. I think it was a good topic but I kept thinking I could write it better.
