Great book. I loved the characters and it really piqued my interest in the books the characters read and discussed. (

This was among a number of "book club" novels I set out to read at one point and I thought it was one of the more well done. (Disclaimer: Anna Karenina is one of my favorite novels, so perhaps I was sympathetically predisposed to this book). Anyway, I thought it was an interesting take on the transformative effect of books, showing how individual club members really re-examined their lives and priorities as a result of experiencing an Anna Karenina like moment.

Promising premise: A group of NYC women have a book club and their lives and their interactions with each other are featured between book club meetings. Unfortunately, too much whining and not enough plot development. I did enjoy the book discussions, though. (

This was too much like some of the other book club books i've read. The most interesting part was some of the in depth discussions of the books the characters were reading. (

This got a bit tedious and self-important. (
