Picked up at the Ipswich meet-up. Good to meet you marmite.
Not up to the standard of 'Postcards' or 'The Shipping News' in my view. I found it rather disjointed and with too many characters to keep track of. Good in parts though.

I brought this book home with me from the BC Meet-up at the Layer Fox pub.
Just popping in to say that I will start reading this book later today. I don't think I will get through it quickly, because it isn't the "main" book that I'm reading right now and it has quite a lot of pages. But who knows?! I guess it depends on if it draws me into it or not!
I have been reading this book for almost a week now and I'm only on page 135! I'm finding it quite hard going, and that's why I'm not very far into it. It hasn't yet drawn me in.I found the first part about the Accordian Maker quite good, but very sad. The second story was not all that interesting to me, and I'm now about 8 pages into the third story. Like ardachy said, I am also finding it very disjointed. I would like to give up on this and go to another book that I would find more interesting, but I won't give up just yet. I might just have a break from it and come back to it. I haven't decided yet. I hate being defeated by a book. I'm sure there's something good in there somewhere, and I just haven't got to it yet. Pity. However, I think I will persevere with it. Watch this space for the next instalment!
I made a big effort today to sit and read this book. I have now read 250 pages, but I'm afraid it just isn't doing anything for me. I have made the disappointing decision to stop reading it altogether. I'm sure it's just me, and that someone else will love it. It's just not my cup of tea. I read "The Shipping News" by the same author and I found it much better than this one. I feel disappointed that I am giving in, but I have lots of books waiting to be read here, and I might as well be reading something that takes my interest and gives me enjoyment. I think I will save this book until I can get back to the UK, in the summer, and then I will release it there. This will be the best place to find a new reader for it.
