I have a feeling this will be a best seller! Despite the fact that I figured out what was going on very early, I couldn’t put down this well written novel. The book within a book was an effective technique. The only thing that bothered me while reading was the question (which the book answered), can you own a plot? Although he felt guilty about what he did, and certainly wouldn’t look forward to all the attention he would get when his anonymous accuser’s allegations were made public, I couldn’t quite understand why Jake was so upset about it. He just took a story that someone else had told him and wrote a similar one in his own words. There was no plagiarism. This would make a good discussion for a book group.
