Okay, but you MUST read Chris Blocker's review before you hit your book club. One of the best/funniest reviews I have read in a while. http://chrisblocker.booklikes.com/post/1318273/review-fates-and-furies

I saw it when it came up but avoided it until I had finished the book. His reviews are quite entertaining and this one doesn't disappoint. I did, however, like the book a bit more than he did :-)
