I thought this book was well written but was not mesmerized with this it at all! The ending was a big disappointment to a book I was already luke warm about....don't recommend. Didn't connect or feel for the characters either.

While certainly not the worst book I've ever read, Big Brother never pulled me in and then further disappointed me with the ending. Kind of like cheating while on a diet - never as good as you think it will be!!

As a fan of Lionel Shriver, I was excited for the release of newest novel, "Big Brother." This most striking aspect of her latest installment is how completely ordinary it is. After sticking with this novel for hundreds of pages, Shriver pulls the old "but it was only all a dream" trick, which is tiresome and disappointing. This book is strikingly absent of Shriver's usual talent for pulling the reader along through a power-packed plot populated by captivating characters. In short, it's boring.
