I absolutely loved it. I know many people complained that it dragged but I, personally, didn't notice. Happy to read to the bitter end. My husband also enjoyed it.

That's how I felt too. I was disappointed by the ending.

I was disappointed. Spent a lot of time reading it. I wanted to hear the end (listened to it on Audible), so kept going. Last 1/2 was not good. I wouldn't recommend. Very depressing too.

It was the most relentlessly depressing novel I have ever read, but I couldn't put it down. I'll never re-read it, though.

It was ok but not as good as her other books. Read Wolf Hall!

The Secret History, not Life. Sorry, not trying to be a dick. And yes, it's that kind of book. At least it was for me.
I knew I was off, but I figured people would know what I was talking about. Glad to hear it was a page turner for you.

Similar to a Secret history. You'll enjoy it.

Ohhh, I feel like it's a sign of a good book (or movie) if it draws enough emotion to make me hate the characters.
