Query: Great Writer; Real Characters

Though I did not find a single character in this book to be the least bit likeable, I liked the book itself very much (no doubt because Perrotta's writing is superb, as are the plot lines). Read this book, if for no other reason than to confirm that American suburbia, in all of its "predictableness," still contains its occasional -- or perhaps inevitable -- infidelities and felonies. Then go read Perrotta's other novels.
