THE LEFTOVERS by Tom Perrotta ***

Barely kept my interest. Apparently people were running around minding their own business when 1% or so of the human population disappeared. The book doesn't address this issue whatsoever.

There are stupid new religions springing up all over, targets on foreheads for one group and flip flops even in winter and smoking for another group. It's all so bizarre. People just decided to lead new lives as if their life has no meaning anymore. I was certainly not into all the people and their stupid lives. People do the same things NOW never mind after a calamity. One woman changes her hair color and goes to leave a note at some guys house (old husband?) and finds a baby their son dropped off on the door step. One of the gurus knocked up his little tribe of women. Wow isn't that novel?

Most of the women in the book are stupid, slow, mindless, without goals, vapid, not one leader or strong woman figure stands out at all. The men are the anchors in the book and the women are the dupes. I hated that part of it as well. Tried to look for ONE strong woman who could deal with anything and couldnt find a one.

Best seller list!! Soon coming to TV near you. I hated it with a passion. I'm a very strong female and not to even see ONE leaves the author a misogynist. He sees them as pointless unless he wants to fuck them.
