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.

Set aside for the UK Unconvention in Nottingham in Sept

This book has arrived safely in Nottingham for the 2011 UnConvention. Thank you kinedi.

Felt sorry for this book as there were so many copies of it lying around so brought one home with me.

Loved it! great writing style. Was glad to have read it. Have already found someone who wants to read it :)

Saw this on your wishlist. Hope you like it! :)

I'd only just added this one to my wishlist and unbelievably it arrived!! I've never had that happen so fast before (and I'm not sure it could happen again with such timing). Brilliant. Many thanks.

Off to remove it again now.

Well, with such recommendations I sneaked a peek into the first pages and before I knew it I was well and truly hooked!
Usually I am not a fan of books written in and by the first person but this one had me curious right from the start. I was taken in by the title and thought that it may be difficult to deal with and a little on the heavy side; however, I am gladly wrong and the book was so easy to read, it was a joy. The storyline itself hung together well and the writing style was lyrical deftly dealing with even the more intimate situations. The tale takes place during an afternoon and evening and as the evolving story gradually unfolds, the logic of the behind the hidden agenda also gradually reveals itself. Beautifully written and I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it.

I have a plan for this book to travel further.

Although not on your usual reading list I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Lyrical writing masks the difficult subject well and makes it very readable.

I have heard a lot of people talk about this book so I look forward to seeing if I enjoy it.

I really liked the style that this was written in. I was hooked from the start and couldn't wait for the final outcome. What a fascinating subject.
I am going to pass this on to a friend.

Passed on to a friend, over lunch and a chat.

Kindly passed on to me by dolph1n in Chester, yesterday.
Many thanks, much appreciated, am looking forward to reading it

Sadly I wasn't keen on the style in which is was written and found it a little irritating.
Because of this I gave up on the first part of the book and re-started it at 9/11...
I read the rest which became more interesting but unfortuntely it still wasn't my cup of tea.
For some reason, I found that for me, the ending wasn't much of a surprise and not that unpredictable...

To be taken to the BC meet in Nottingham on Saturday 21 April.
