The Book Borrower by Alice MattisonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I still cannot decide whether I liked this book or not. The writing and characters are odd enough to capture your attention so that you want to learn more. After reading the review of the book, I was prepared for a sentimental journey of two close friends over the span of 20 years. From the beginning I sensed something odd about these two "friends" and their relationship over the years. The novel takes several weird turns picking up similar "interesting" characters along the way. It's the sort of book that you start and want to finish for closure. Consequently, you then find yourself wondering what interested you in the first place. In my case, I "misinterpreted" the book description with my own expectations of what a long term friendship might entail.
