Review: Great for a book club - We just read this book in our book club and we are all pleasantly surprised at what great discussion it generated. While reading the book, one can get a sense that parallel plots are orbiting the primary plot all the time but you never can quite put your finger on exactly what they are. As a group we all picked up on different concepts that once someone said it we would agree at how right on the person was and how we didn't come up with it on our own. After the discussion we all wanted to read the book again with our new insight into the book.
Review: Not like your neighbors (I hope) - Entertaining tale about a weird family.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a book club
*by N***Y on October 27, 2010*

We just read this book in our book club and we are all pleasantly surprised at what great discussion it generated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not like your neighbors (I hope)
*by K***R on September 10, 2017*

Entertaining tale about a weird family.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 'two sad unmarried daughters...and in another room his broken son'
*by S***X on June 23, 2012*

The Elected Member of this novel is Norman Zweck, the cherished high-achieving son of a Jewish family in 1960s London. But the book opens with him addicted to amphetamines, his legal career in tatters as he hallucinates. His experiences in a mental hospital unfold and with them we come to understand how he got to this point; family secrets and a tragedy that scarred him for life. Both moving and humourous, this is an interesting and unique work.
