Our October book club read is "Shoot the Moon" by Billie Letts. I haven't read any books by Billie before so I can't compare but overall this was just an ok book. I liked the overall premise but the resolution didn't cut it for me. Yes, I do realize I'm not an author so I have no idea how hard it is to write a book, blah blah blah. Seriously though, nothing bugs me more (well, maybe a few things ... ) than a book taking hundreds of pages to suck you into the story & then it all coming to a pretty close in 10-20 pages. What's up with that? Why can't we have a conclusion that actually takes some time & thought to really come to terms with?!? Is that so much to ask? OK, I'll hush now. The book was very easy to read though, so there you go.

It was easy to read. And quick.
I read Where the Heart Is and LOVED it...this one? Not so much.
I will agree with liking the premise...however the ending made me not really like the book at all. Harsh I know, but whatever!
Maybe we have become critical in our age(s)...
