One of my Mum's books, passed to me to read and bookcross.

This has to be the most boring book that I have actually read to the end! I usually give up on a book that doesn't have me eager to pick it up again, but maybe I was just in the mood for a little bit of tedium, as I found myself ok with carrying on.

Nothing really happens to start with - you meet B and his extended family and friends, who all have problems, hang-ups and a need for an interior designer in their life. B's biggest ambition is to give his local church a make-over, but first the job is given elsewhere, then it's given to him.

There's an almost overwhelming amount of information about fabrics, fashions, food and art - if you're into that sort of thing, you'll love it - I found myself skipping odd sections and I honestly don't understand why authors suddenly feel the need to add recipes to the narrative - unless a character is reading one out verbatim, it only interrupts the flow!

There are a number of disasters looming, but a few unlikely 'miracles' happen to make sure everything is back on track. They're not very believable, but in the general scheme of things made me smile.

You can't say that there is a happy ending, but there is an ending, which I was actually glad to get to. Not exactly recommended reading, but one I could get through.

Congratulations! You have found a traveling book.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this site and letting us know what this book has been up to since it was released into the wild. I hope you enjoy reading it, but even if it isn’t your type of thing, then I’m sure there will be someone out there who will love it. This book is now yours, so feel free to keep it. However, I would be grateful if you could leave all the stickers in place and pass it on again once you’ve finished with it – you could give it to a friend, donate it to a charity shop or just leave it lying around somewhere to be picked up again by a total stranger. If you would like to get regular updates on what the book is doing in the future, then why not join Bookcrossing too…it’s fun, friendly and free.

Thanks again and happy reading!
