For all fans of The Slap..he has a new book out

[MrsDavidBowie]

Just saying
Can't recall title but will get it on kindle later.
I think I'm the only person who liked The Slap on here.

I loved the slap.
The new one is barracuda, which I also enjoyed.

I loved the Slap too. I'll look out for the new one as I'm pleased to hear it was enjoyed by a fellow Slap fan.

At least there are 3 of us!

4

5! But I wasn't that impressed by Barracuda.

I didn't think the slap had any fans so news to me
It was one of the few books I didn't finish, I just didn't care about any if the characters

I quite liked it too!

I didn't enjoy The Slap but Barracuda was very good.

I enjoyed the Slap. I don't think you were meant to like any of the characters.

I liked the concept of the slap but not the actual book - did not like any of the characters. Preferred barracuda but could been 100 pages shorter.

I loved The Slap! I really enjoyed the telly version, too (Melissa George was ace as Hugo's mum). What's Barracuda about?

We can form a 'slap lovers' quiche!

ShanghaiDiva I think that sounds really kinky

I love it jimmycorkhill
Again I love your name.

Ooh a kinky quiche!
Where do I sign up?

I loved the slap. Bought the DVD of the series as well. I started barracuda and got to halfway point and it just put me in such a bad downer of a mood I had to stop. I will go back to it though, really rate the author (whose name I can't spell so won't attempt to write!)

Thank you, it's on my 'to avoid' list

For us kinky slap lovers , I bought Barracuda last night for the Kindle and it was under £3! Interesting so far too.

Barracuda was quite good, a bit more 'gentle' than The Slap, if gentle is the right word.

Some of the characters in Barracuda are at least more easily sympathised with.

I've almost finished Barracuda. Like The Slap, it's not an easy read. I had to keep putting it down because I didn't want to know what happened next. I really sympathise with the main character and I can't stop wishing I could go into the book and change events. I think the author is great for creating situations/characters that are uncomfortable but realistic. Top marks from me again.
