|comment= I must have some defect, because of all the books I have started in the last few years, this, as well as strangely enough, ''Everything Is Illuminated'' by Jonathan Safran Foer who is Krauss' husband, were among the very few books which I borrowed with a very positive expectation, with the feeling that I should like them, started, read quite a bit of (well over 50 pages in both cases) and then just gave up on, which I don't often do with a book.

|comment= Yes, I've heard this about this book. MALU said the same thing. Matter of taste, isn't it! As for me, I'm going to read it again - soon. And I don't do that with many books.

|comment= Fabulous first fifty pages – Leo and Bruno are Lemmon and Matthau which is why the following pages were such a disappointment. I left the novel in a hotel room, something I have never done before; perhaps someone else will fall in love with it...
