Kerri (USA: OH) (2008/04/25): OK, so I have a bachelor degree, but not in English. I'm not a stupid woman, but GEESH.... make sure you have a dictionary handy when you read this book!!! Amenuesis? I'd never heard that word in my life! There were DOZENS of words that were just way too big and clunky in this book.
The story is fine, though the characters are not people I would ever, in a million years, want to meet, let alone hang out with.
BTW: Amenuesis means 'secretary'. Leslie (USA: MI) (2008/12/10): I agree with Kerry. I bought this book because the New York Times Book Review named it the Best Book of the Year I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would be. The story is good but the book is too wordy for me. I was disappointed. Melinda (USA: TX) (2009/02/11): i hated it! maggie (USA: GA) (2009/03/25): I got caught up in the lives of these people (thirty-somethings) and really enjoyed this book. A good beach read for those headed out to spring break!
