A lot of people I talked to didn't like Recapitulation. A couple hated it. A couple really loved it. I wonder if the general dislike of the book was due to the fact that the book was assigned reading. Assigned reading as a general rule is usually pretty lame. As for me, I thought it was ok. I definitnely would never just pick up Recapitulation for a fun read. Its not my type of literature. But it was this awful super boring book like I thought it was going to be. I liked Bruce Masons memories, although a couple were maybe a bit more sexually explicit than needed. I'm not sure I cared that Bailey was having sex with some girl on the porch. Oh well.
I guess the one thing I wished was that the book had some sort of viable plot. It was more like...this guy randomly wandering around Salt Lake. Which is cool, but not exactly exciting. Even his memories didn't ahve a plot. The only thing that kept me interested was I wanted to know how Nola and Bailey got together. Which it never explained, to my dismay.
Probably my favorite part of Recapitulation was when he joined the tennis club. Course that may just be because I play tennis....
