This book was some serious reading. I liked it for its humanness and hated it for its sadness and loneliness. The premise of the story is that of a man struggling with an enormous secret that he kept in an effort to protect someone he loved and the consequences of that secret. He was sad man; lonely and always searching for something in his life that he never really found.You can read more about the book here.
*PS After my rant in my Water for Elephants post about being a reading poser, when I searched for an image for this post I found out this book is a movie too! Came out in 2008 as a TV movie, I am going to check see if they have it on Netflix!
*PPS I watched Water for Elephants. It was good, but not The Notebook good like I was hoping for. I am sure I would have thought so if I had not read the book first. So if you have not seen, nor read. SEE FIRST READ SECOND.

Guess what? The Memory Keeper's Daughter was just on TV last weekend!! I have the book, but haven't read it yet. I think I might have completed the first two chapters, then got any farther. That said, the movie was not bad...but I have rarely seen a movie that I like as well as the book. I guess I'm hard to please!
