Read, Post, Repeat... discussion

So I have a confession to make. Well 2 confessions actually, but baby steps, you know? Here's the first confession... I've never joined/participated in/or even CONSIDERED being part of a book club. I want to read what I want and then move on to the next book, no discussion necessary. Which brings us to the 2nd confession. I read fast. Like... really fast. Nothing ever takes me longer than a day or 2, 3 at the most, to get through. I finished this book, Faithful by Alice Hoffman, in a day. Before you get all judge-y on me, please know that my husband is self-sufficient, my children are grown and housework is not a priority. Now I know not everyone can spend as much time reading as I do, or would even WANT to, but for book club purposes I'm going to just pretend I'm spending the month of March working my way through 'Faithful' right along with you. ;) So what do you think? Are you as caught up in it as I was/am?

It seems to me that Ben and James BOTH played a part in 'saving' Shelby... do you think that one's input was greater than the other's? And if you had to eliminate one of them, which would it be? And could Shelby have found her way back to her self with JUST that character help?
