Title: Not as good as I thought it would be
Review: I bought this book because it was listed as an Oprah book club selection. I usually am very pleased with Oprahs selections but this book left me asking why it was picked. It was terrible. I had to stuggle to get through it. I hated Alice from the beginning. She can't cope with her children, and instead of disiplining them she trys to stangle a kitten. Howard her husband is afraid to live his own life, and instead does what he thinks is best for ALice. All through the book, I was hoping that he would get a backbone and join the real world. As I read this book all I could think about was what I was going to read next. It was almost painful to finish, and I was relived to turn the last page. The ending held no surprise for me, and I still can't understand why this book was choosen for the book club. Save yourself the hours and rent the movie.
