Journal Entry 3 by Hendrickje from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Thursday, May 31, 2007

A really amusing novel, in which 15 Irish writer have written a subsequent chapter. In the reviews I have checked, every single reader is delighted by some author's contributions and disgusted by others, but interestingly enough everyone mentions different names. Everyone agrees though, as one writer on amazon.com puts it, that 'the whole is less than the sum of its parts';-)I particularly liked Marion Keyes' contribution. I hadn't heard of her before, but now I have put 'any title by Marion Keyes' on my wish-list. The language in the book is quite rude. A country recovering of its catholic past? Or as Father Ted puts it in a famous scene:'But that's the modern world Mrs Doyle!' (Mrs Doyle, A.K.A. Pauline McLynn, has written a chapter as well.)The story ends, as the Dutch saying has it: 'as a night candle', meaning quite sudden and unsatisfactorily. 

Journal Entry 4 by Hendrickje from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Saturday, December 26, 2009

After 2 1/2 years I have re-read the book. The whole is still less than the sum of its parts, but it still is a really funny and amusing, but confusing book.
