We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves - anyone NOT really into it?

I am 25% in.
its DULL.

I have just finished the kindle version so had not seen the cover. I guessed the twist as soon as I read the quote on the first page as I read some reviews that indicated that there was a twist.
The discussion with the author at the end about how she came up with the idea and her own childhood was interesting. I also like the way of telling the story from the inside out - as a technique, although found the book quite tedious as nothing much happened.

Am now reading Small Change for Stuart which is for kids but much more gripping.

it wad a bit meh

I loved it. Much much better than Jane Austen Book Club. I had already read about the twist in a review before I started it.

I particularly liked it as I'm a psychologist and had to study a lot of those twin studies and chimp studies, and I used to want to have my own twins to conduct long term developmental experiments on, so I enjoyed the bits about the postgrad researchers doing experiments and Rosemary picking up all the chimp behaviour.

I found the subject matter very interesting but a a novel fell short. Mind you it is infinitely better than the Jane Austen Book Club which was utterly banal.

I liked it quite a bit as found the story quite original, but still thought it was a bit lacking in terms of structure and character development, especially the secondary characters like her parents and brother.
