Another 4 for me. I like this book quite a bit.
Again, haven't read it yet. Saw the film version a long time ago and don't remember much other than the general synopsis. Should be a fun book, whenever I get to it.

single-focus narrative isn't Sai King's real forte

So many 4's , which I too must give this book.
I do like it, but not enough for a 5.

I thought it was okay, but was very annoyed by the lack of chapter breaks. It makes it very difficult to find stopping points. I give it a 3.

Am I the first one who gave it a 5?
It's one of my forever favourite books on Earth.
I give this one a very strong 4.

I think when I first read it I was about 14 or so and it impressed me so much. The ordinary fight of two ordinary women.. still so fascinating. When I reread it I found it even deeper.
I am waiting for the next 5 eagerly. :)

I did not find, and doubt that you will either, that this book was a "fun book". It was very sad in many ways. I liked it and gave it a 4, but it had little fun in it.
Well, I misspoke (mistyped?). I meant "fun" as in an engrossing read. It's obviously not a laugh out loud riot.

Absolutely an engrossing read. I felt the story was intentionally written for the reader to "endure" (persevere) just as Dolores did.

I gave it a 4. I didn't quite love it but enjoyed the read very much.
