a_lovesbooks's review against another edition
3.0
An easy, enjoyable read, BUT I have no idea what the novel is actually about. I kept waiting for something to happen, for the characters to realize something or to make me feel or realize something. That never happened. In the end I don't know what to feel about it. In many ways the characters and situations were artificial; there was simply no depth, no aim. Still I can't say I hated the book. Maybe it's because there was a sense of possibility or somehing like that. The ending was really rushed. We find out that Len and Nina had an affair, may have possibly been each other's greatest loves. I didn't feel anything about that because despite a few subtle hints that there is something between the two, we never actually see anything between them. I wonder if that is the message of the novel; you make random choices, you make a life for your yourself and eventually realize that it never really is or was the way you thought it was.
