Beautifully written but rather bleak.

 
  "A Meadering Read" by mabook (see profile) 07/10/11

This book was hard to follow. It seemed to wander from thought to thought and I had a hard time figuring out what the characters were doing at any given time ... the story jumped from present tense to memories without much warning. I didn't find the main character to be very endearing, either.

Out of the 12 members of the club only 2 people liked it. Most finished it but a few did not. Most felt the ending was boring.
