I don't like writing bad reviews for books since I would never want to defer anyone from reading a book just because I said it was bad but I just have to say how I feel exactly about this book. To be quite honest I have never been more disappointed in a book before. I heard many praises about this book but when I actually read it I kept asking myself what is wrong with so many people who think this is a great book...I guess it's because the title of the book has the word great in it.All it's about is this guy who becomes way too obsessed with a so said 'golden girl' and just dedicates all her accomplishments to her. It's a book about doomed marriages that ulitmately results in infidelity (what a surprise). It's no wonder the book is classified as a tragedy.
