I had to read this book for my book club's sake. The story itself is alright; it could have been really good. The writing style made it hard to follow the story lines. At one point it seemed that the writer simply threw in any and every idea and name and street corner and …more time frame that came to her/his mind. It was hard to get connected to one story line as a new one kept opening up. I was relieved to have finished reading it.(less)
