Book club tonight to discuss AVFTGS ( A Visit from the Goon Squad). I finally finished this book and can admit that I wasn't wild about it. One of the questions is Are you glad you read it? Not sure. I guess I am since it has gotten so many accolades and awards. However I don't understand why it is considered to be great writing. I am not clear on the title- why goon squad? I do have a problem with books jumping back and forth in time and with characters- but after reading some posted reviews apparently I am not the only one that found that distracting in this book. It was a struggle to remember each character. Should be an interesting discussion as long as we can stay on target. Several of us have college grads so I fear that it might be hard to stay the course.......
