This is a great book and if I had time I would read it again! However this copy is a copy I mooched from bookmooch.com to replace my Bookring I started for this book a while ago.

I hope this copy has more luck than my other copy!

Here is the link to the old ring - http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/3635881

**********************************************

Synopsis (from amazon.de)

Rachel Walsh is 27 and the miserable owner of size 8 feet. Overly fond of recreational drugs, she gets frogmarched into the Cloisters, Dublin's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. Once there, she seeks redemption in the shape of Chris, a "man with a past". A novel by turns poignant, powerful and seriously funny.

and after a three week travel, the book arrived today to my doorstep. The envelope was ok, even though the front cover is a bit torn at the top corner. i don't know if this happened while traveling, but i hope it won't get worst in the future. Since this book is a replacement for the first copy of Amberkatze that in a way got stalled somewhere i'm planning on reading it asap and then send it on it's way to the next reader waiting for so long for it! Thank you Amberkatze for your great interest in all of us still wanting to read the book and for doing the best you can to keep the bookring alive!

eta 07/06/07: i've been really busy studying for my thesis, so i've been left behind in this bookring. Hopefully i'll finish reading it by the end of this month. Sorry everyone for taking me this long..

Yey, after a long delay i'm finally finished with the book!
I have to apologize to everyone once again for taking me this long, but this period in my life preparing my thesis has been the worst..
To be honest, i expected to find the book quite different. I mean in some parts i expected to read about more emotion, i expected to see Rachel realize things earlier and cope with them. I found the ending however very optimistic.
I've already PMed kzel and i'm waiting for an address so as to let the book free.
Thanks once again Amberkatze for starting the bookring!

eta 22/07/07: kzel, TheBowieFollies and MaplesFlowers asked to be skipped so i've PMed the next bookcrosser in line and wait for an address.

RELEASE NOTES:

the book is finally off to knitwit. Sorry everyone for the delay for a millionth time!
Enjoy reading knitwit!

Arrived safely today. I shall begin reading it as soon as I have finished my current book. Thanks for passing it along, pepita.

This is the kind of book I would pass by in the bookstore - lime green cover with a skinny chick on it. I know I shouldn''t judge books by their covers but I do it all the time! At this point I can''t remember exactly why I wanted to read this book but I''m guessing that a bunch of BookCrossers said it was funny and sad at the same time and very humorously written - they of course were right. I''m glad I read it and and it was a nice change of pace from my usual fare. I felt really sorry for Rachel but I think she''s going to be okay after all.

Thanks for sharing, Amberkatze! This will be going in the mail to cowgirl-up tomorrow.

Arrived safely in yesterday's mail. I'll start this one as soon as I finish my current read so I can pass it along ASAP.

Not my favorite by Keyes, but still a good read.

Mailed today to CheriePie for the mbag to Amberkatze.

Received today for Amber's m-bag. Will journal again when sent. ($3 enclosed. Thx cowgirl.)

m-bag sent 1/22/08

This bookring made it back to me today in the Mbag from Cheriepie! Thank you again!

Thank you to everyone who took part in this ring! It is nice to see it come home even if it was a little shorter than I thought it would be!
