I read this book and I enjoyed it a lot, it was a fun page-turner. In fact, I could not stop reading, and then when I finished I felt like I ate too much junk food! I disagree a bit on the ending. It seemed more sensational than the rest of the book, to me. I would definitely recommend it, though.
This book has "movie" written all over it, and indeed, it looks like Nicole Kidman is in talks to star in it:

(I pictured the main character a lot frumpier than Nicole Kidman, but hey, I guess frumpy doesn't sell movie tickets!!)
