This was another quick read. It probably took me about eight days to finish. I can't say that I understand what all the fuss is about. I suppose the story was meant to be scandalous given the ages of the characters, but I wasn't very scandalized and the author didn't seem to want me to be scandalized. The writing appeared to be elementary, artificially so, given that it was supposed to be a well educated, grown man's, account of events. I neither liked nor disliked this book, I am interested in watching the movie though, but mostly because I love Kate Winslet.
