i've just finished it on the bus home, and for once i genuinely don't know if i thought it was good or not. the writing style was a bit rambly, the story was ok, but i am a bit hmmm. so would like to hear other opinions on it!

ah now I liked this book.........but then I only really go on whether it is readable and catching my interest than thinking about the writing style.......maybe I don't think enough about it all.

Flame has recently bought another book by the same author so I will be interested to see if I enjoy that book as much.......tis often only after reading two books by any author that I decide if they are any good or not....

I am now about to start on 'the book thief'.

has anyone here read that one??

I loved it and an about to reread it for my reading group. I cried a fair bit!

It was quite good- enough to keep me interested but nowhere near in the same league as the "Time traveller's wife" or "Lovely Bones"

I didn't like it, didn't finish it. It was dull.

Just finished it too.

Kept me interested and a good tale. But not moving like, say, the Timetravellers Wife which I would class as a similar genre. So a good way to pass the time but would not necessarily recommend to anyone else.
