I read this book on advice from my sister Emily. I don't know if I thought it was quite a great as she did, but it was worth the read.
This is the story of several ex-pats living in Budapest in a time when everything is happening in Prague. There is always this underlying idea that they are not living the best life they could be living because they are in Budapest and not Prague. The usual stuff happens: they get jobs, lose jobs, find girls, and get denied by girls. Usual plotlines for a book, but it all happens in a foreign country!
At the end of this book, there were only one or two characters that I didn't absolutely hate. In the quest for fame and fortune, some of the characters did some pretty crappy things. I'm having a hard time talking about this book without giving away too much of the plot. There is a lot there and it would be a great book club book.
