I was the 'leader" today for my book club and this is the book I chose after reading it. As I expected, the members either really liked it or hated it. I chose it because the characters are so strongly presented, the writing is lyrical, and the plot has all sorts of unexpected twists and turns. There is a LOT of sex in the book. Before I allowed anyone to comment on the book I read aloud some biographical material on the author which added much to the discussion and helped explain why the author wrote this book. There is also a short video on the web of the author reading some comments he wrote about the book.
