UN-Reality Check

So. Reality Check, by Peter Abrahams, not so much. Receiving 1.5 stars out of 5, book club members did not take to this story at all. I think it's safe to say it has been the least popular title thus far this year. Although nobody was quite able to articulate why they disliked the book so much, it seemed like a lot had to do with the predictability of the plot and the inability to connect with the characters. Oh well -- you win some, you lose some. That's why this month's choice will be such a welcome relief. Everybody is free to choose which book they'd like to read, as long as it was written by one of the 27 authors coming to Rochester for the Teen Book Festival. With lots of books to choose from, hopefully everyone will find one they like and feel encouraged to attend the festival on Saturday, May 15th.
