    Great Meeting! The conversation was one of the most fluid and interesting dialogues I ever remember having in the group. Kelly did a great job choosing the book and leading the meeting, and almost every one who attended gave the book 5 Stars.

    I loved this book. Although not everyone else liked it as much, it was great to hear what everyone thought.

  • Linda Thompson
    The meetup was quite enjoyable. As awlays the book disussion was stimulating and I enjoyed each person's perception of the book. However, it would be nicer if the room was entirely reserved for our group.
