Helpful Score: 1

This book was alright. WAY TOO MUCH HYPE about it, in my opinion. It does not read like Gone with the Wind or To Kill A Mockingbird, and, in my humble opinion, is not a "must read." I was certainly able to put it down and pick it back up again without much effort, and I did not laugh or cry outloud. While the subject matter was interesting, there were too many loose ends for me. Not a "keeper" book for me; not sure that I would seek out another novel by this author. I will concede that the audio book is probably a better bet; might consider renting the DVD when it comes out, but wouldn't pay to see the movie, although I could certainly see Allison Janey and Mary Steenburgen reflected in the characters they portrayed. (Just as a point of reference, I thought Eat, Pray, Love was terrible - one of the worst books I have ever read.)
