To say I was blown away is way too mild. If I hadn't read "A Visit From The Goon Squad" in 2011, I would've said this was the best novel I've finished in the last decade. And the more I process The Overstory, it's possible it could overtake Goon Squad. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I would never pick this for a club for exactly the reason you stated, i.e. I would be so bummed if others did not share my enthusiasm. And much as I'm a little ashamed to admit it, I'm afraid my reactions to anyone who didn't "get" this book wouldn't be kind.

I was really disappointed that the ladies in this group did not share my enthusiasm for this book. It is gratifying to see that you did!Ines Altemosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514401015415332296noreply@blogger.com
