Title: Hoped for more
Product review: I had just completed my last final exam of an 11 year "return to college". Imagine my delight as I sat down & turned the TV to Oprah to see her introduce her latest book club selection! Finally a chance to read something without having to hold a highlighter in my right hand. But what a disappointment I was in for! I couldn't understand any of the characters. How could Jo & her husband be together when they seemed to value different things? I couldn't imagine a group of young people living together in the 1960's being more uptight than this group was. Dana sounded like an annoying, people pleaser, who never heard the word "boundary" before. Eli was pompous, shallow & weak. The ending of the story was frustrating & made me glad when the story was over. As someone who has missed reading for pleasure for many years, I hope this choice isn't indicative of Oprah's other Book Club selections.
