I picked this up at the library after spotting it randomly on a shelf. I had seen the movie a while back and enjoyed immensely. It was far enough back however that I did not remember all of it. So it seemed a like a good idea the book. I'm glad I did. I'm pretty sure I'll have to get a copy for myself sometime in the future.
All that being said this is not a book to read if you are looking for something uplifting. As the title states it's about chance and the role it plays in our lives. In the book chance is a thing that gives and takes. Takes with a vengeance. And the ending leaves you wondering just what card will be turned for the main protagonist. While I love a good open ending, as I did with this one, if don't stay away from this book. You might hate. Then again might want to take...a chance.
