I think you're right - I was in Waterstones, wondering what to buy, when a total stranger (not an employee) almost insisted that I bought it. Unfortunately I bought The Song of Achilles instead.

Just finished it. Very funny, life affirming and also rather informative about modern history! A great read.

I've just started reading this for my Book Club and am finding it very sweet so far. Now just need to think of more insightful things than that to say about it at our meeting!

Loved it. My teenaged son is currently reading it too. Spent most of the New Year holiday trying to get friends to buy it!

I'm half way through this one too. I'm really enjoying it- it has ended a bit of a reading drought for me. Every night I find myself saying "I'll just read one more chapter...." Until I've been reading way past my bed time!

Was on offer I think for the Kindle? I think I have lined up to read. Super as dragging myself through a current read just cos' I have read all the others they wrote - but you are pushing my loyalty Patricia Cornwell.

Well I'm going to go against the popular opinion, I didn't like it. Read about a third and then gave up. Just couldn't get on with it

I bought this when it was deal of the day on Kindle. It was sweet, very funny in places, and I liked the unconventional hero. Not the best I've read but one of the most entertaining, certainly.

Oh good, glad to hear it's good. I have it on my kindle. I've just finished my 3rd Kate Morton in a row. I am loving those books!

The Kate Morton books are really good MrsBungleBear. I think the 100 year old man is still on offer for 20p if anyone wants it.
