I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. It was so much more than I thought it would be. There are many different levels of the book to discuss and it made you feel good at the end. I was hooked in the middle of the first chapter. I highly recommend this book to read!

Although the premise of this book is fantastic and you would think it would be a hit out of the ballpark success, I did not really enjoy this book. The characters were not developed enough, I didn't really feel myself empathizing with them, it was rather 2 dimensional. Maybe it was the way the narration was done--although I couldn't really see doing it any other way--but I just didn't feel connected to them at all. I hear it's coming out as a movie--I think it will actually do better as a movie--and you don't often say that!

Our club seemed to really like this book and had much to talk about it. We would recommend it without reservation.

I cannot say enough good things about this book, I loved it from the beginning to end, didn't want it to end, couldn't put it down while reading it. I even loved the movie, which almost never happens when I have read the book. Highly recommended!!!

I know, I know, I am ducking at all the people who are Austen fans and love her works, but I have tried numerous times to read them, even listen to them read in audiobook fashion and I can never make it through. Out of the 10 of our book club, only 2 read it, the rest tried and gave up, or watched the movie instead.

If I didn't know she wrote them both, I would have never guessed it. Our club mostly liked the book, until the one pivotal point in the end in which we didn't really "buy it" any more. I don't want to go into specifics to spoil the plot. That being said, there were plenty to talk about and it was an enjoyable read.
