Review of The Sad Truth About Happiness

I picked up The Sad Truth About Happiness by Anne Giardini at the library and I'm glad I didn't buy it at the bookstore! I got about halfway through it and then gave up.

Because of the cover blurb I was expecting a humorous story about a woman whose roommate develops a quiz that can accurately predict anyone's date of death. I thought that it might even be a thriller type of story instead, but it was neither thrilling nor funny. It was just boring. Anne Giardini's style of writing is just not for me-it's too introspective.

Some people might really like this book, but I gave it only 2 stars.
