make sure you read Behind the Scenes at the Museum - it is her first book and WONDERFUL - I think it is my fave book of all time.

I love Kate Atkinson books and the Case Histories series was fantastic. (As was Brit Museum). Jackson Brodie - a fictional chahrcter to fall in love with there I think.

Behind the Scenes was my first Atinkinson and lead me to the others. Truly wonderful and I feel quite jealous that you have so many to read.

I liked 'Behind The Scenes' and I like the character of Jackson Brodie but overall I think she is vastly over-rated tbh. Far too much reliance on easy coincidence. Not going to bother with anymore of hers.

'Human Croquet' is one of the worst books I have ever finished - I only finished it because I was on holiday and desperate (somebody had left it behind and I'd already read all 14 of the ones I'd taken!).

Another fan here of both Behind The Scenes and the Jackson Brodie books.

Also, strangely, didn't like Human Croquet, but I do enjoy her in general.

I hated Human Croquet too, but loved Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Not quite so keen on the Jackson Brodie novels but they are still v.good.

I'm obviously strange then as I love Human Croquet, I did read it as an angst ridden teen though.
But Behind the Scenes at the Museum was just an amazing read.
I really did not like the one with the dog on the cover (weird...?) But her short story collection is rather fabulous.
The Jack Brodie books I can take or leave.

I really liked Case Histories. That's the only one I've read. I've had 'Started Early took my Dog' for a while but haven't got round to reading it yet. Has anybody read this one.

She's currently my favourite author - just wish she'd write something new!

Does anybody know when?

porcamiseria · 18/04/2012 09:00

very good, as are her other ones too
