I loved the author’s writing style and wit. The wife is very identifiable. Good story. I will see the movie soon too.

I kept waiting for the primal scream but each character as a portrayal in cowardice. A very depressing book about a world insulated from reality. Half way through I forced myself to finish. The ending was the epitome of the characters...weak and cowardly.

Started out interesting..then? I just made myself finish it.. I hated the ending.. it was just blah.

Great book! I did not want to put down!

My perception is that Wolitzer had an idea for a plot with a surprise ending, dropping hints along the way. It wasn't difficult to follow the clues. The character development was so weak I found it difficult to know any of them.

Smartly written, difficult to put down, this book has made me want to read all of Meg Wolitzer's work.

Superb writing and a compelling story. This is well worth your time to read.
