I didn't really enjoy this book I stuck with it and read it all but its the sort of thing that if I was reading it "for myself" I would have put it down/back and got another one. I didn't feel any empathy for any of the characters at all other than a tiny bit for the mother that was trapped in...

More the merrier... :-) Do any of you use the chat room cos they would be a great way of talking about the book when we get that far...what do you all think? ps really enjoying the book

I think it would help if when we choose other books we check out that they are cheaply available online...i know I cnt afford to buy loads of books and they are not in every library....does that make sense?

3 weeks is standard for book groups.....if we set a date of 31st March to read it by thats 3 weeks and a day....how does that sound? we can always go over slightly if not everyones finished?
