The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian

*** 3 stars

It was hard for me to buy the underlying set-up of this book; that a fairly reasonable, responsible guy would allow a bachelor party of this nature in his own home.  But you do have to buy into that so the moral or the message of the story can be driven home, I guess.  It's not a pleasant book, that's for sure, but it kept me interested. I'm not sure it was as effective at generating outrage as maybe the author hoped. I felt a little disconnected to the characters. It was just an okay read.
