review 1: I was very much enjoying this book as it went along. I wasn't totally engrossed in the story as I sometimes am, but it was interesting and I was looking forward to see where it was going. But then it just ended. Truly, I got online and looked to see if my copy of the book was messed up somehow because the ending felt so abrupt and unsatisfying. Others have mentioned the lack of quotation marks, which I found somewhat distracting at first, but quickly got used to. Still, it was a book that had great promise, but totally and utterly failed to live up to it.
review 2: I think this book was…interesting. For me, reading this book was stepping way out of my comfort zone (I am more of a chick-lit, fun, light, scandalicious (yes, that is my word) type of book rea... moreder. Occasionally, I pick up a “heavy” book full of deep thought and insight.This was that book.Bookclub recommendation: Don’t go from the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy to this one. The adjustment is pretty brutal.It took me forever and a day to get through this book. I am a heavy book reader. Although I can only read during my commute I read around 50 pages at a time so I get through them pretty quickly. This book took me 2.5 weeks to complete.The writing was good enough, it was the story that I found hard to get into. I was confused a lot of the time. I found myself often drifting off then turning back the pages to figure out what happened…the story didn’t keep me engaged. The plot line was good but it took me a long time to figure out where the story was going.There were some parts that got my heart racing but those were very few and far in between.Even though our book club meeting is coming up soon, a few of the ladies felt the same way. It was a long drawn out read, and they did not know what was happening most of the time. There were a lot of time changes as well. The story would jump 30 years in the blink of an eye.Did I mention no quotation marks? That alone made me crazy!One positive about this story is the way the author showed the struggle of the Jewish population down south. I had never known before that they were discriminated against as well—almost as bad as African Americans. It was a real eye opener for me to read about the struggle the Jews had in the 1960s.I suppose when I read this book I was looking for something else based on the description, but it just didn’t live up to all of the hype to me. less
