Oh dear, Disobedience only gets 7/10? That doesn't bode well for my book club read, does it?

Helen, maybe it was just me. Maybe it was too much like all the other books I've been reading. Maybe you'll like it. My 7/10 means it was a "good" book, just not excellent:

10 - Loved it!! Couldn't put it down!!
9 - Excellent!
8 - Very Good
7 - Good
6 - Above Average
5 - Average
