review 1: Not a very good choice for OBOC, especially in this pretty conservative area. The stories, while interrelated, were too disjointed to make any sense of it, especially for having discussions. I'm not sure what the other discussions could be about anyway: infidelity? end of life? Didn't people say they wanted a "happier" book? I also fell asleep while reading it, which is pretty rare for me to do. I did enjoy the short story format, however, I just wish it was executed better that I could follow along.
review 2: The omniscient narrator flitting from person to person is a bit odd, but I guess it's one way of presenting multiple simultaneous points of view. The book captures the importance of little moments by ignoring everything, both consequential and inconsequen... moretial, that happens between them. For a 200 page book, it's a bit of a cheat that 20 pages were previously published, but I suppose the later stories would have been incomprehensible without the original story. less
