just ok i reckon.

dizzydixies · 24/03/2008 20:29

oh now, I was thinking of the Time travellers wife which IS good

have also read memory keepers daughter which is fine as well - not as good as time travellers wife though

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 24/03/2008 20:29

Have started it, not overly impressed TBH.

dizzydixies · 24/03/2008 20:30

I passed mine onto my aunt or you could have had mine sorry

dinny · 24/03/2008 20:31

Ok, it is read-able

my mother-in-law raved about it and passed it to me and I thought it was OK

cazzybabs · 24/03/2008 20:32

yes - i enjoyed it. It was an easy read. However, I think I prefered the 2nd book by the huy who wrote the kite runner umm A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hossein I think.

scottishmummy · 24/03/2008 20:33

have not finished it - didn't enjoy it

dizzydixies · 24/03/2008 20:33

oh have thousand splendid suns but not read it yet

yurt1 · 24/03/2008 20:34

I liked the memory keepers daughter.

MadameCh0let · 24/03/2008 20:36

I just could NOT get into it, despite everybody telling me how great it was!

The Island by Victoria Hislop is very good.

bossybritches · 24/03/2008 20:38

I enjoyed it but it's not overly challenging- a good holiday read

tiredemma · 26/03/2008 10:28

Oh I dont think ill bother- I wanted something more challenging after reading farking nursing textbooks for the past 6 months.

oh deffo don't read then one of the central character's is a nurse

I thought it was all so bloody obvious after reading 10 pages that I skipped through the book seeing if it all happened as I predicted, and it did

It was just a bit distressing and unoriginal, I thought

Rose99 · 27/03/2008 14:26

It started off ok and then got a bit boring.

McDreamy · 27/03/2008 14:28

It's ok, easy read, simple story.

Sidge · 27/03/2008 14:28

It was ok. I wouldn't buy it though, get it from the library.

Rather predictable, it started off well then meandered and sputtered to an ending.

Listmaker · 27/03/2008 14:29

I agree - good idea but too much explaining of everything not leaving you to work things out for yourself. Also predictable but an easy enough read.

unimpressed. wish i hadnt stubbornly persevered to the end. i HATE not finishing a book but sometimes i am wrong
