Is it ok to not like any of the characters in a book? I'm not talking about a character that you hate so much that you have to find out what happens (Enter Title Here was a perfect example). I'm talking about characters that you can't help but roll your eyes and think, "Seriously? I doubt I would truly want to know this person in any way, shape, or form." But then again, someone apparently saw the potential and did a movie which from the trailer looks pretty good.
Had a book club on this book. No discussion questions, and it was a pretty lame discussion. What do you talk about? This lady who has a very unhealthy need for social and male attention, another woman who doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks about them but suddenly turns maternal with her son, and a husband who truly has no idea what just hit him. He just sits there, waiting for someone to tell him what to do, then doesn't do it. So there you have it. I will watch the movie, and maybe I will have a different opinion after the movie.
