Not one member finished the book

this book proved difficult for all members and not one single person finished the book in the time, so it seems it didn't engage or interest us enough. A shame, and most of us have said we'll persevere to the end it's not a glowing recommendation.

The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer
 
Book Club Recommended
Interesting, Difficult
Difficult read

I found this book rather hard to read, and really did not enjoy it. I wondered whether the book would still be relevant 40 years after publication, and I did not find it particularly thought provoking, I just found it annoying.

Lila: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson

I liked it but half the group didn't

I really enjoyed reading this, and quite enjoyed the almost gentle pace of the narrative. I really felt the emotion of lila came through, while others in the group found the character annoying in her refusal to be positive when so much had worked out well for her.

Overall the group was split equally between those who enjoyed it and those who didn't, although everyone finished the book.

The Miniaturist: A Novel by Jessie Burton
 
Book Club Recommended
Dramatic, Unconvincing, Interesting
Widely enjoyed

Almost everyone finished the book (unusual for us!) and those who didn't finish it ran out of time, rather than inclination.

Recommended.
