You’re welcome! I love disucssing books and alternate opinions. One of the few places left where you can feel strongly about something, argue about it and no one gets hurt.

Ha! He’s very pragmatic and cerebral so his take was something along the lines of Klara realizing things would have gone the way they did no matter what so she’s wasted years…I don’t know. It just made me realize we all look at life-death in very different ways.

I know so many bloggers who loved it so don’t write it off completely. I just didn’t feel anything from it.

I’ll probably still stick it on my wishlist in case it goes on sale, but I probably won’t seek it out.

And I was so rude I totally forgot to thank you for the link. Thank you. I don’t think you didn’t get it, I think it may be one of those stories where the writing either captures you and holds you through the “weaker” parts or does not. And talking books with someone who holds a disparate view is much more interesting anyway. 🙂

Well now I want to talk to your husband!

Based on how many readers I know who loved the book I decided to add it to my It’s Not You It’s Me post. Somehow, it missed the mark but most people really loved it. That’s what’s so great about books- room for everyone!

I loved your review- it’s what made me think it wasn’t the right book for me, but was great so most everyone else. It happens, right?!

Both you and Susie loving this book made me add it to today’s post! I really think it was mostly me who didn’t get it.

I went back and added this to my It’s You It’s Me post today after a conversation with my husband about the book (not that he read it!). His take on the actions of Klara and Daniel was so startling that it made me think I missed something. At the very least, it’s a conversation generator!
