This is one of my least favorite books that we've read for the NASW Book Club. It's just too . . . dramatic. There are parts that really spoke to me and pulled at me, and then there was too much. Just unrealistic drama ALL.THE.TIME.

The point at which is said out loud "You've got to be kidding me, I just can't with this book" is when the snakes got knocked over.

Everything about Julia was so predictable and I figured out before it was revealed (except her & Mrs. Brickman and their last tiff).

Ugh. I'll choose to take the good parts, recognize it is meant to be an 'epic journey' and just leave it at a 2-star "it was okay" rating.
