I was out of step with my book group compadres as I really disliked this book.  I admire its competence but that was about it.  

When I reflect on some of the great books I've read as part of this group I realise that what makes a good book for me is at least one of the following:

- Powerful descriptive writing

- The book gives me insights that I didn't previously possess

Now then, I want to apologise for the lack of comments from my book club compadres.  Perhaps it was the Harveys, but it was laziness, but aside from the scores I didn't make any notes.  Normal service will be resumed next time out. 

We also discussed David Lynch's film Mulholland Drive which as well received, and 'Get Yer Ya Yas Out' by The Rolling Stones.
