Dear Reader

Welcome to BookCrossing and thanks for being a part of World Book Night 2011, the largest book giveaway in history. 1,000,000 specially printed copies of 25 different books changed hands on March 5th 2011 and began their journey from reader to reader. This book is one of them. World Book Night has joined with BookCrossing to help track these books as they travel. You can be a part of that journey by making a comment in the book's journal here on BookCrossing. Your journal entry can say how you got the book, what you thought of it, your plans for it or whatever else you might like to add.

On BookCrossing you may choose to remain anonymous or join (it's free). If you join, you’ll be alerted by e-mail each time someone makes another journal entry for this specific copy of this book (other copies of the book are travelling with their own ID number. Every copy of every book has a unique ID). It’s all confidential (you’re known only by your screen name and no one is ever given your e-mail address) and spam-free.

Thanks in advance for being part of World Book Night and BookCrossing. And happy reading and sharing.

This book is being released via BookCrossing on 5 March 2011 as part of the inaugural World Book Night. With the full support of the Publishers Association, the Booksellers Association, the Independent Publishers Guild, the Reading Agency with libraries, World Book Day and the BBC, one million books will be given away by an army of passionate readers to members of the public across the UK and Ireland.

Read and release!

This is a very well written, entertaining and thought provoking book which I read back in 2008. It made such an impression it was my selection in the World Book Night giveaway. This is one of 48 copies I have been entrusted to give away. I hope future readers will record their view of the book and what they do with it as it continues on its travels.

On an arch near the castle.

I've been following the My Life in Books series, and have recorded the World book night programmes this evening to devour at my own leisure. I visited Colchester castle with my family today (We live near Norwich in Norfolk), and when I found this book in the park near the castle this afternoon, I was brimming with delight. I can't wait to read it, leave a review and follow its journey. Thank you.

I enjoyed this book. I would not have chosen it, left to my own devices. It wasn't really until I had completely finished the book that I really put more thought into the characters feelings and beliefs, etc.
I shall now pass it on.

I released this book, with the permission of the Librarian, in Loddon library. We placed it with a group of books on display showing the front cover, in the see-through bag with the book mark, just as I found it in the park outside the castle in Colchester. I hope, the person who finds it takes pleasure in it and leaves feed back soon.
