WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Bringing to this afternoon’s meetup.

This book is released for the Never Judge A Book By Its Cover challenge, 2010 - Week 12 (the words A, An or The in the title).

Thank you for picking up this book and logging on to the website. Welcome to the addictive world of the bookcrosser! Do let us know what you thought of this book, and what your plans for it are.

Read this last month for our Murdoch challenge - we're reading them in publication order, and discussing.

I really enjoyed this, and can quite see why it won the Booker in 1978. Full of Murdochian themes (water is one, so the title says it all!).

I'm letting this go beacuse I want to find a really nice copy for my PC.

Picked up at the meetup, I've read quite a few of Murdoch's so far. I have two other of Murdoch's in front of it, and so it may be a while until I get to it.

One of Murdoch's best so far in my view. After reading a few I think I am in the 'Murdoch Zone' if there is such a place, and feel like I am getting the hang of being able to picture the many characters that appear - both the ones that are 'active' in the narrative and those that are just referred to by the narrator. Charles himself appeared in my minds eye to physically resemble 'Michael Winner' and once thought, wouldn't go away!

Taken to Birmingham Bookcrossing meet up.
