I like this book so much that I have bought it for two other people. Funny and satirical, thoroughly enjoyable.

Bringing to the Meet-Up tonight to see if there are takers.

Handed off at Meet-Up

Picked up at Meetup, it was on the leftovers pile and I've heard good things about Jane Smiley so I thought I'd give it a try.

I enjoyed this, which is a nice change for me. I seems to have read a bunch of books lately that were not very satisfying. It reminded me a bit of 'Kissing in Manhattan' in terms of having a ton of characters interacting in a wide variety of ways but there is actually coherent plot line and the characters are well developed and interesting. Not all likeable but still interesting and fun to dislike the unpleasant ones! The only complaint was that it was working up to a big finish and then kinda meandered to the end. I found the last few pages just lost steam. The two chapters that were letters and press stories also didn't help, it seems like she just didn't want to bother writing those parts. However, I would read more of her, it was quite engaging and fun to read.
