I actually thought it was a non-fiction book. Knowing it's a novel makes it
even worse.

I read it because everyone else, including the members of the ambridge book
club did so. However, i;m in total agreement with Trish except for the fact
that I didn't get to the end. Part of the problem with it was that it's a
novel written like a non-fiction book.
