While this book was definitely NOT unputdownable, I was sorta glad to get back to it each day especially as I got to know the characters. I can't say that I liked any of the people in the book - all were very flawed which alone is not enough to make me dislike them. Of the 3 main female characters there was just something lacking. Even the 4th female - housemate - was wimpy. Maybe I expected too much from the book after all the hype I read about it and the movie based on it, but I did not find it all that good. Seems difficult to make a movie out of something that seemed very repetitive to me. A friend who saw the movie said it was not very good.
