    Finished the book last night...I thought it was very well written and the pace was pretty good throughout the book. Glad we decided on that, it had been on my list forever.

    Looking forward to the group discussions.

    I am not quite done with the book but I had to post that the element of Jewish August's shcizophrenia fueling his jealousy for Marlena and Jacob just screams that it has been lifted from Sophie's Choice.

    Where is everyone in regard to the book?

    I pretty much forgot everything I read, haha...its been a while.

    In any case, we can get the ball rolling on this and maybe the next book as well.

    I finished last week. I liked it overall although I found the ending a bit predictable and had a few minor complaints.

    Just finished the book. I enjoyed it but I felt the ending was rushed and as you said, the comparisons between this and Sophie's Choice were obvious. I think that element made me like the book less too.
