Journal Entry 1 by Flicki from Emden, Niedersachsen Germany on Sunday, January 03, 2010
 I really looked forward to this book when I bought it because I really loved some of Kureishi's works over the years... I don't know what's been going on, maybe he has changed or I have, but I didn't get into this one and found it downright boring. Gave up around the middle. It's really strange, because I'm not only interested in the author, but also into the things the book is about. Hmmm. Guess I'll pass it on and maybe try to get my hands on the book again in a few years or so.

Journal Entry 2 by  crimson-tide from Balingup, Western Australia Australia on Tuesday, March 09, 2010
Hey, thanks Flicki. I'd forgotten about this one. Received as part of the "Keep It Going Reverse Wish List Relay". You've made my day! :-)
Amazon Editorial Review:
Jamal is a successful psychoanalyst haunted by his first love and a brutal act of violence from which he can never escape. Looking back to his coming of age in the 1970s forms a vivid backdrop to the drama that develops thirty years later, as he and his friends face an encroaching middle age with the traumas of their youth still unresolved. Like "The Buddha of Suburbia", "Something to Tell You" is full-to-bursting with energy, at times comic, at times painfully tender. With unfailing deftness of touch Kureishi has created a memorable cast of recognisable individuals, all of whom wrestle with their own limits as human beings, haunted by the past until they find it within themselves to forgive.
