He was the only character I cared about. I just could not get into that book.

I didn’t like any thing about that book. I thought it was trite.

I read the book synopsis but not author quotes it other content on the cover.

I’ve been to several. One is a community group and we discuss the book and then chat in general. We meet at local yacht club.

One met at a restaurant for dinner and mostly talked about the book, less general socializing than my community group.

Eta the community group has a running list of books and we use a random number generator to pick the book. Sometimes people come even when they haven’t read the book and no one cares.
