This book is very well written. It is an unusual subject matter for me to choose but I enjoyed it nonetheless. My book club (all women) chose it because it received so much acclaim. The character arcs are especially well thought out. I have found myself wondering what would have happened to the characters after the book had ended.

Completely different. Very entertaining and yet graphically engrossing. The overall plot seems a little suspect but give it some room and it comes out OK.
