Peter Hedges - "The Heights"

I have a little baby book club that I created this past fall. I have a whopping 4 people in it. Which is better than 0. The book that was picked for this month was The Heights by Peter Hedges. I would like to say before I go into the review that I have been in a book funk. This is the first book I have finished in three weeks.

A history teacher and his wife find themselves at fault with each other when a new neighbor moves in. This is it. This is all that goes on in this book. You meet the couple, a woman moves in next to them and they start fighting. I was waiting for something awesome to happen like the woman tries to break them up. Nothing. I got nothing.

I read this book waiting. I am still waiting. Hopefully some of the people in my group can make it seem more exciting. I am thinking it is my book funk. I need excitement.

Honestly, I can't say if I liked this book or not. I feel that my funk it ruining things. Damn you funk!!!! So to make things fair, I will come back to this book when I am out of my funk and review it again. Yes, I am making you wait. Now you know how I feel!! Muahahahahahahahahahahha!
