Been wondering what took so long!


The first ten pages were something of a put off. It read like some irritating quirk fest. But after that it's possibly the most consistently engaging novel of the past decade. The way each situation flows naturally from the basic premise is just first rate

The book is very engaging. I'm curious how it will adapted into a movie.

I actually bought this book a few years ago thinking the story and title sounded like they would make a good film. I've since tried to read the book but I just can't get on with it. Maybe I'll give it another go...

reply

Nope. Still can't get on with it...

Is this the definite favorite for Best Picture next year? Seems like the writing directing and story will all be top notch. Curious what actor they will rely on to carry the movie.

I saw that it had been endorsed by Karl Marlantes and so read it. It was a cheap shot central sort of book with every possible smirk and predictable cheap shot a Cindy Sheehan with half a brain could've scribbled.
