Author: Joan Didion

Pat and I have very different tastes in books. The last two in particular point this out. He loved this book and I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t like my last book; Pat is reading in now and he is liking it.

I think you could call this a mystery although I never actually figured out what was going on. The story, such as it is, is fragmented and involves characters you never get a handle on who they are or where they fit in.

This is the second Didion book I’ve read and I won’t be tempted to try another one – life is too short.
