I know many of you have read this. I have just started. Please come and tell me why I should continue.

I thought it was a lovely book, takes a while to get going, but a good read I thought.

Like overthemill I read it on our book club. I was WTF, but kept going and it was actaully pretty good. If I was reading it generally I would have put it down and read something else.

I even found myself thinking about it a lot after a certain point. It's good. Try to keep going.

oh you just have to keep going, it really will draw you in. We read it for book group and i wasn't at all keen to start with but loved it by the end. Most f us felt the same, really good book that makes you think long after finishing it

I`ve picked it up a couple of times when I've been in book shops but always ended up putting it back again - just something about it didn't appeal. I had thought maybe I should give it a go but after reading your comment I think my initial reaction was correct!

Didn't get it at all. Sorry

Sorry, can't do that. I hated it.
