I read this when it first came out. A bunch of old university friends and new acquaintances met up at a nightclub and, chilling over drinks and music, found our mutual love of books. A fledgling bookclub was born, with this selected as our first read. Unfortunately, gathering plans failed to pan out so I will never know what they thought of the book. But it was only because of the tentative meeting that I bothered to finish it.
Setting aside the controversy that came with, there were some interesting ideas presented, but the writing was horrendous. It reminded me of my Nancy Drew Case Files collecting days, with Nancy clinging to a rope by her fingernails in each cliffhanger chapter ending. When I finally made it to the conclusion, I headed straight to the library to drop the book in the donation bin.
