" I read this for my book club and enjoyed it, though it started off slowly. I was a bit turned off my the main character's self-absorption, but that's a criticism of the character, not the author. I kept wondering -- if the main character had been a woman rather than a man, would we have been as sympathetic? I think not. I do recommend this book to others, especially those who have taught high school or college and to those who can perhaps envision falling in love with someone for their writing talent, not their other looks, charm or personality.
