What Members Thought
Have you ever driven by stretches of houses wondering what life was like behind those walls? Now imagine driving past them daily, the stories you can make up in your own mind of the people inside, their lives, even giving them names. What happens when you see something, something that changes how you think of these people. What do you do?
What do you do when you don't know who to trust? When everything is lie, or everything is a black hole because you can't bear the reality so you drink away the ...more

It seems like every book club I'm in picked this to read either last month, this month, or next month! It's got a huge waiting list at my library but I finally got it and it was definitely worth the wait!
My house back up against a gully (small canyon) and you can see and hear the people on the other side. (It has great acoustics! A couple of summers back, I heard a belching contest from the other side. Gross!) I have caught myself fantasizing what would happen if I heard or saw something salacio ...more

I enjoyed this a lot, and not just because two of the main characters are named Rachel and Tom. The writing was a little on the simple side, but the action moved quickly. I really liked Rachel as a character, even though she had her issues.
But man, after reading this you won't walk out with a positive view of marriage. How appropriate that I - Rachel - will be marrying a Tom in a few months. Let's hope my story doesn't turn out like this ;) ...more

Honestly, I have no idea why this book got so many 5 star reviews. I had to force myself to finish it because of my irritating compulsion to finish any book I start.
Where to begin? The characters in this book are assholes. Every single one of them. The main character (the girl on the train) is so wet that you want to reach through the pages and give her a good slap in the face to shake her out of the pity party she keeps throwing herself. I don't even remember the names of the characters, this i ...more

Quick, melodramatic read. I just wish there'd been a character in it that I actually liked. The "trainspotting" premise was nifty.
