Kapitoil

Our city chose this for its "Novel Idea" book of the year. Last year they chose The Help and a few years earlier The Kite Runner. As in prior years, I have read each of the "Novel Idea" books, and found them to be engaging, discussion provoking and great reads.

On the other hand, and IN MY OPINION, Kapitoil was not. In fact I did not even finish it. After laboring through a third of the book, skimming most of what I had read, I ditched it. Initially I was interested in the foreign worker who comes to America to write code and work in the financial world. But then I realized that I was reading about someone who writes codes and works in the financial world - both of those subjects bore me to death.

I am sorry to say I would not recommend this book. As I did not push through to finish the book, I will pass on attending the author reading. I hope that others found this a wonderful read.
