Title: One of the most boring books I have ever read in any category.
Product review: I picked this up because of great reviews & its inclusion on Oprah's book list. I found it to be extremely boring and tedious. Seriously, three pages on the morning routine of feeding the dogs? And this is not beautiful Proust-like detail, or points that move the plot along - it's just listing of steps. I didn't find the emotion and realness that other reviewers found - I mainly found an unlikeable narrator and an overall premise so conservative (really? you go live in a communal house in the 60s but you don't have any sex or do any drugs?) that I don't see the point of investing time reading it. This book takes no risks. It might have been great as a novella.
