After reading a few pages I really didn't like the book at all but never having been in a book club (virtual or otherwise) wasn't sure what the etiquette was - whether you had to be polite and finish it or not - so I logged on to read what others had thought. It was Peppermintpattie's comment about it being a bit like Fargo (which I love) which persuaded me to soldier on and after a few more pages......I really, really enjoyed it.

It is totally improbable but it is a cracking good read and I'm quite sad now to have finished it. Like everyone else I liked Tool (although not at first - all those references to his hairness put me off) and Rolvaag.

Thank you for introducing me to something I would never have read otherwise and thank you PP for your comment which made me continue reading.
