I Loved this book - as other members have written, I couldn't put it down!! The plot was riveting, although dark & depressing. The characters were well written and all quite flawed. There was quite a bit of stereotyping going on- the anti-abortion lunatics vs Annie, the liberal college professor & writer. However both sides were revealed to be hypocritical in their actions. I cant say that I found any of the characters likeable, but I was still intrigued to see how the author was going to have the plot play out. I am going to recommend this to my book club since I think we can have a lively discussion over the characters and the abortion issue.
