Query: Waste of time

Our book club chose this book, because it sounded intriguing and had great reviews. What a waste of time...A compilation of short vignettes is a great idea...but unfortunately, this collection went no where. The characters were dull, and the stories had no depth or interconnection.I thought I was the only one who felt this way about this boring book until our group met. Half of them didn't even finish it. We all agreed it was a bad choice, and wondered WHO in the heck could give it five stars???
