Available for release...

released at bookcrossers meetup! Hope you enjoy it!

Caught at the Edinburgh meet up.

I enjoyed the use of language in parts of this book, but what an unpleasant bunch of people! I think the only person I liked was Hamish, no wonder he didn't want to speak to anyone!
Will release soon.

Set free in the cafe on the leaflet shelf. Happy reading!

Fancied a book-hunt so I detoured on my way to college. Hunt successful, obviously. I'd never heard of Cusk but she seems to have won a few awards so I look forward to reading this. Thanks for the Free Book, Folks.

A few years ago I went to the pub with a friend of mine, Jamie, and a friend of his, Gerard. After listening to Gerard speak without pause for half an hour I excused myself and went to the loo. A few seconds later, Jamie followed me in.
“I had to have a break.” I said. “He's just so boring.”
“I know.” said Jamie. “I'm so sorry.”
We hugged and went back to the table. Gerard repeated the last word he had said before I left and then carried on with the sentence.

Reading this novel reminded me of that day. It's such a shame, because the writing is pretty good. She's got the skills but not the soul.

She's fond of her similes and some are hit but most are miss. I'm not sure if she's going for an elevated tone or showing off or what, she's definitely putting the effort in, but she gives these outlandish similes to describe such boring things they just seem out of place.

Her dialogue is really good. She may use it to have her characters say incredibly uninteresting things, but it sounds real and she made me laugh three or four times.

I took this to the monthly meet at the Fox & Raven. Great to meet you.

Took this from the local Fox and Raven meeting. Welcome Lukerik. This will be one of five books to continue its journey on the Essex/Suffolk circuit.

At the Colchester local meeting

Could not get on with this book at all and I never give up on a book, until now. It was just so boring................
