Great story, very enjoyable, definitely didn't predict the outcome at the end! Now sending onto MarianFrench, NSSEB partner, enjoy and have a very
happy Easter!
happy Easter!
Received as part of my NSSEB (not so secret Easter bunny) gift. Thank you very much jillbe, I really like Joanne Harris' writing do I'm looking forward to reading this one very much.
This is a great book. I finished it a while ago but its taken me ages to get around to journalling it. The style can be quite confusing (swapping the first person from chapter to chapter) - Joanne Harris also does this in "Coastliners" - but I guess it makes sure that you are concentrating!! I also didn't predict the end - so much so that I think I will re-read at some point to see how the story drops into place. (I'm going to leave the status as TBR for the moment)
