Netherland by Joseph O'Neill

When I first started reading this book, I was sucked right into the story line and the amazing writing style. But about half way through, I lost the same level of interest that I first had. I think because the book should have been read quickly, within a day or two. I recognize that it was an amazing piece of writing, but I think I just did not relate enough to the character and to the cricket theme. At first, I thought I understood why the author chose cricket as a focus. The book dealt with coming to terms with being unAmerican in America. And cricket is a "second class" sport in America, but not in so many other parts of the world. Anyway, I am glad that I read the book, but would like to have someone who has read it to discuss it with. Maybe it's time for me to join a book club.....
