The Almost Moon

I can see what would be appealing about The Almost Moon. This book screams book discussion. I'm sure many libraries and individual book groups will choose it in the coming year. I have to admit, I am not a fan of the genre, however, and avoid it when making selections for my own branch book discussions. My vote would go more to books that are "should haves" or "always wanted to" selections, particularly books from other other regions. I know I could do better with World Literature.
