mmmm - been trying to decide what to write here. Not sure! The book was well written and easy to read but not sure if I actually liked it. But I didn't not like it either.

I think it was probably because in real life I would of hated the characters, so most of the way through the book I just wanted to grab them and shout get a grip! Then when it all goes wrong I was left feeling a bit guilty about being nasty to them. Though I guess thst was the point. The moral of the story is you might have it all materially but that's not everything and always remember to look under the flowerbeds before you get involved with someone!

So after all that I still don't know!

I really enjoyed this book and found that I couldn't put it down which surprised me because if I had been told what the book was about I probably wouldn't have been overly keen to read it.

I liked the fact that its subject matter was a bit different and enjoyed the setting of the story. I would now go on to read another by the same author.

This book was a pain in the arse, I had to put it down to deal with the DC's, or go to work or any of the other mundane crap I've got to deal with on a daily basis, when I should have been READING this great book (thank goodness for students who decided to skive off my class last Thursday because it meant I could sit with my feet on the desk and enjoy my book )

This was a great book, I would never have bought this from a book shop, but I'm actively looking for the author's other books now.

It really drew me in from the start and although I really didn't like the characters or identify with any of them I was interested in them although like Loler felt that they were in need of a good slap at times.

I would really recommend this book to you all.

I thought it took a while for this to get going but it was definitely a good read and worth sticking with.

It really made me think and I found myself flicking back through the book to rediscover bits I missed once I'd finished it.

I did my classic "flick-to-the-end-I-can't-bear-the-suspense" when things started hotting up, but it was still worth reading right to the end to get the detail about what happened, and why.

Thanks for this one, it was really good.

I also would read others by the author.
