Though I tend to avoid novels that are promoted by talk-show-book clubs, I didn’t actually realize this was one of them until after I started reading it.

Initially, this is a depressing read. And now exceptionally interesting.

However, after the first four or five chapters this becomes a depressing read that you can’t put down.

I’m not sure why, quite honestly. The storyline doesn’t change; there are no unexpected twists. Yet it becomes madly engaging. Or so I found at three in the morning when I couldn’t put the darn thing down.

Not the best book I’ve ever read, but worth the read if you find it in your possession.
