I read it not so long ago so I may drop in the conversation to see how everyone liked it. It was a very good book for me.

This book shocked me when I read it. It is very good and provoking.

Yup, my mistake. Fixed now.

I'm joining in! I have wanted to read this book since the movie came out. I haven't seen the movie, but probably will after I finish the book. I'm currently listening to the audio. Enjoying it so far!
