I finally got round to buying "The American Wife"

[Saltire]

after reading a few good review on here about it. I'm 100 pages in so far, and it's ok, not really holding my attention in a "I can't put this down" way.

yes, I had similar thoughts too

I think you need to read it bearing in mind it is supposed to be based a little on Laura Bush and therefore George Bush

Oh, I would have sent you my copy - which I took to the charity shop yesterday.

It is INCREDIBLY tedious - sorry!

I quite enjoyed the first half to three-quarters. But it just went on and on towards the end. It didn't seem like the author knew how to finish it. I also bought it because of the great reviews it go here and was a little disappointed.

I've really enjoyed it - it took me ages to get round to buying it; I'd resisted it for ages. But I read it slowly over a few nights, which suited my needs for now.
