I think it was because I thought it was going to be one of those quiet and pleasant reads, so I just plodded along and just sort of enjoyed the day to day interactions that she was having. So when when the tragedy happens, it completely unhinged me and all of the expectations that I was having for it. It did keep me thinking about it for awhile, though!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-7021564744912669832010-11-22T17:54:27.173-05:002010-11-22T17:54:27.173-05:00MEG: I think her earlier books were better!

I also liked a few of Quindlen's other early works and she was a great journalist.<br /><br />ANNA: There are a lot of good reviews for it so you may like it. I found it different gtom her older books which I liked a lot. I'm interested in what you think when you read it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-46611510048207685582010-11-20T06:15:22.000-05:002010-11-20T06:15:22.000-05:00Thanks for your honest review.

Have been thinking about reading this, but it sounds like it may be too violent for me.
