Bookclub Review

 

 

_{It was a chilly evening in Amsterdam, with the outside temperature below zero. Despite this, there was a good turnout for the book group. No one was surprised that Jennifer Egan won the Pulitzer Prize for this work; it is notable for its innovative style and richly drawn characters who feel both believable and likeable. Some of us found the science-fiction-tinged ending a little strange, as it marked a sharp departure from the rest of the novel. Overall, however, we rated the book 4½ out of 5.}
