Overall rating: The group rated the book 3 stars. 3 stars means, "I read it because I was in a book club."
Despite our laughing at the term "novel" used to describe this book, we did have a lot of funny discussion generated.
As a group, we felt that the story was too predictable, cliche and trite. Pam made a good observation that the book was mostly dialogue....not a lot of observation and detail.
As far as the subject matter, we felt that the subject wasn't very interesting; we grew tired of Quixie very quickly.
For plot development, there was a little surprise at the end, but the book was waaaayyyy too long. As Amy said, "It could have been a pamphlet!"
Considering the enjoyment factor, we seemed to enjoy book club more than the book.
Quote for the evening from Amy: "Is this erudite enough for you?"
(When does Amy not make the quotes?)
