Read a shining review of this in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago, so when I saw it on the shelf I picked it up on a whim.

No real knowledge of modern art other than what you see in the papers but I REALLY enjoyed it, made me laugh all the way through! I think the kids must have wondered where I went to all weekend - I just couldn't put it down!

The characters are really real and go through things we all do, so don't let the art setting put you off. I'm pretty sure this book talks about modern art in the same way as most of us think about it - just a bit ridiculous :o

Don't want to go on too much or ruin the plot for everyone, but has anyone else read it? And can anyone reccommend anything else by this author for me?

You wouldn't be her agent would you? Because a quick google tells me it's not even out yet, and this is your first post

Sure you did. Well, I think the publisher may want words with them for jumping the release date in that case.

I don't think you'll be disappointed :o I was laughing out loud (literally) from the beginning. Probably shouldn't, but I loved mrs Klumpp!
