Cutting for Stone was the January book for my book club. This book was already on my list so I was excited to read it.

but the beginning dragged and dragged and dragged. It took me four weeks to get through the first 200 pages. I was really frustrated and stopped reading altogether for a while. Which made me sad. And mad at this book.

But then it got better.

And, as is often the case, I got hooked and by the end, I loved the book and I am really glad I read it. I do think half he book could be cut without much quality loss but I loved it nonetheless.
