The universe Book

It just goes to show that some things speak to one person while others are turned off. I was turned off by this book and would not even have finished reading it had it not been a book club read. My first issue was that I didn't like the characters. They were so black and white. I didn't think it was believable that a woman who was strong would end up so weakened and inept because of a man she married. I didn't find the beginning setting of the book had any relation to the whole of the book, it was merely an attention getter. I found the language of the book was confusing and unclear. Some of the words that were used to convey things were nebulous and awkward.

I am interested to hear what my book club members thought of the book, as I am sure my dislike helped me miss many deeper meanings or observations. I must admit that I read "Ellen Foster" years ago and cannot remember one thing about it. I do remember thinking it was mysterious why the book received such glowing reviews.
