The Uncoupling, Meg Wolitzer

The Uncoupling

I was put off by this book, almost from the beginning.  The general idea, that a town full of women are put off of sex by a mysterious spell running through the town, was uninteresting to me.  They all quit, not really knowing why, but most frustratingly, not asking why.  Did no one care?  Did they all take it as the natural course of things?  It made no sense.  

I ended up reading the whole thing, liking it more in some areas, and less in others, and then finally just buckling in and finishing it.  The conclusion was not particularly satisfactory.  

Pretty well written, but not a great read.
