What drives a man to stay in a marriage, in a job? What forces him away? Is love or conscience enough to overcome the darker, stronger urges of the natural world?
Joshua Ferris' second novel started out very interesting but lost me near the end. I was hoping for some sort of resolution rather it kept getting worse. I just didn't get it.

I know exactly what you mean. I think the book was supposed to be symbolic.
I read another not so favorable review of this one so this one won't be on any lists of mine! Thanks always to your thoughts!
This seems to be one of those books that people either love or hate. Think I'm going to pass on it until I run out of things I'd rather read. Like that's ever going to happen!
I've heard mixed reviews on this one but I still want to read it. I'm just too intrigued by the premise not to give it a try.
The premise sounds interesting but kinda depressing - glad I passed on it now!
Sorry it wasn't an enjoyable story for you. I agree with Kathleen's comment, I have to read it to see what's what. Thanks for an honest review.
Think I'll skip this one.
