It took me WEEKS but I finally finished our book club's January selection "The History of Love" by Nicole Krauss. The fact that it took me so long says a lot. The first chapter I LOVED the book. Loved the character Leo Gursky (an elderly man who does obnoxious things to ensure someone sees him each day in case he dies that day). Unfortunately the author's style of writing made it difficult to know when they were introducing characters (finally figured that out about chapter 6) and a lot of the book was slow going and as far as I'm concerned "fluff" to make the book longer. I did stick with it because it was a book club selection and I have to say I loved the ending. Definitely not a favorite though.
