Very disappointing. Having really liked several of her books, "We Need to Talk about Kevin", "The Post Birthday World", "So Much For That", and more, this book was a real let down. The writing and story telling are reminiscent of her early work "Checker and the Derailleurs" which was not that good. Boring characters who have boring conversations. I read just over 100 pages of this newest work and moved onto something else. I hope her next book will be back to the style of "Big Brother" or "Game Control". both of these books made the reader confront some not very nice opinions and beliefs within ourselves that we are not too proud of but, damn, there they are!
