Tip of the day

Pat down your primary-school child when they come out of class. So much easier to give the teacher's mobile phone back at the schoolgate than have to answer it later when she rings to find where it's got to. cabbagewhite

I so much enjoyed 'The Rotter's Club' and 'What a Carve Up!' by this author - vivid stories,,full of wit and insight. In contrast 'The Rain Before It Falls' feels like a dumbed down version of his writing, written to order for a female readership. As a novel it is not bad, but it seems so passionless and empty compared with his other novels, so it disappointed me big time.
