The book was pretty good the movie sucks. So if you saw the movie get the book it is much better. Not to ruin it but even the ending is different the movie...I liked the book, didn't LOVE it but I enjoyed the book and it was a fast read for me. Some moments were a little slow but over all i would suggest it.
I loved this book! It's interesting, intelligent, sexy and fun.
A wonderful setup with a really frustrating and not-quite believable ending.
Now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet. A story of thirty-ish parents of young children who all raise their kids in the kind of quiet suburb where nothing ever seems to happen until one eventful summer when a convicted child molester moves back to town, and two parents begin an affair that goes further than either of them could ever have imagined.
Very good read - can't wait to see the movie.
i enjoyed the book very much!! great read but i wish it had a better ending!

Perhaps I relate too well to these characters. Perrotta's treatise on suburban angst is almost painful. Some characters are a bit two-dimensional for my taste, but most are well drawn and the story rings true. The author's use of Madame Bovary didn't strike me as nearly as effective as Cathleen Schine's in She Is Me, but I guess that makes me a bit petty. Humor, some satirical, throughout makes this an enjoyable read.
I found this to be a quick read as I managed to get through this book in less then 2 days. I found it to be an intriguing read.
