Book Club Discussion Notes

Our book club found this book hard to follow, but most likely that was because it was a new genre for all of us. We would recommend watching the movie and having a comparison discussion as the movie added to our understanding of the book. We would also only recommend this book to a book club that is looking to be adventureous and wanting to try something different that promotes good discussion.
