I started it last night and I must say, am finding it extremely difficult to read. I don't like her style of writing. There are lots of three word sentences - a few that don't make sense at all. Even after re-reading them several times. I'm afraid that if the whole book is like this, I don't think I'll be able to stick with it  This is a bit scary, since I've never had this problem with anything I've read before.
Anyone else find this or is it just me? 
Posted by: Thurisaz
Oh yeah, me too. Bad grammer drives me bonkers. I got about a fouth of the way through before I started to get used to it. But even still, and I'm almost finished, I have to reread sentences.

Does it have newfie doggies in it?

Well, I'm afraid I couldn't cut it. It was a chore to read and not enjoyable so I didn't persevere like Thuri

I didn't get through all of it either. I didn't enjoy it at all. The main character is not someone that I can identify or sympathize with. It was also really disgusting and morbid. Everyone in the whole town gets off on reading about child molestation and car accidents. :shudder: And what's up with the aunt wanting to go back there? She obviously hated her childhood. It was just a weird book and I don't understand how it's supposed to be so great it got an award and got made into a movie.

I didn't read it, but this thread made me feel as if I was right there with you guys, staring over shoulders and stealing biscuits.

I just got this book. Are we still reading it?
Posted by: Khiori
Finally finished it. It took me a couple weeks, which is actually quicker than I read most books. Did anyone else make it all the way through?
Spoiler:
I laughed my head off when Sunshine (was it Sunshine? or Bunny?) kept staring at Jack waiting for him to "wake up". Then he did  |

Um. So ... this has been the "important" tagged Club read for like over a year ... does that mean it's still the club selection? 
Is the moderator even around anymore?
