This is the February Pick for the girls book club, I have not started it yet, but it looks good. It is a long one, so I know I need to get started soon!
We started a book club here at work. We meet once a month in a conference room over lunch. There are five of us girls. This was the first book, and I chose it since I started this group. None of us liked the book. . . .It was a tough read, we could not relate to any of the characters and the story was completely predictable. I will research a better book when it is my turn again!
I would NOT recommend this one.
This was the last book that I read for the book club I joined this past summer. I had read this book about a year ago and I really enjoyed it but it was nice to be able to discuss it with other people. I love to read, but I always find it more enjoyable to share the experience with others.
The boy just had a friend come back after spending over a year in Afghanistan so the imagery really hit home with me. I thought this was a great story not only from a political view point, but a great coming of age story and all of the changes and turmoil that you go through based on decisions and opinions that you form along the way.
I highly recommend this as a read, not light, but it is a novel and not a memoir.
