Wow, that was not the easiest book to finish.

Was a good book, but I won't read it again and can't recommend it too highly. The main characters are not very endearing. To say the least.

The good part of the book is that it was provocative on the subject of love. Old love and new love. What is essential for a marriage to work? Some interesting thoughts, but could have been delivered in half the time. I will watch the movie, but I won't expect much from it.

Next up is 'Look me in the Eyes' and/or 'Running with Scissors'. I have already read the latter, so I will skip it. The reason there are two books is because they are written by brothers and are both memoirs. I went to a talk by the author of Running (Augusten Burroughs) at the Melbourne writers festival last year. The event was called Father Figures. Anyway, you should read it.

His brother wrote his memoir later (a few years ago). Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison (My Life with Asperger's). Looking forward to it.
