| This paperback is currently number two in Hot New Releases in Poetry on Amazon.com after having spent the best part of two weeks at number one. This is what Robert Lee Brewer , Editor - Poetic Asides, Writer's Market and Poet's Market said: "Prompted...more | |

The story is long and predictable and the characters are uninteresting. It seemed like more a chronicle of the main character's very average life than a novel that was meant to entertain anyone.

I cannot understand how anyone could give this book more than two stars. It was very poorly written and edited. But more than that, it was slow-moving and almost completely transparent. The characters were not well-developed. There were many incon...

| I found this unreadable. Not to say it is a bad book. Plenty of people seem to enjoy this and I am definitely in the minority - but I don't like the writing style. The story seems to be a good one though and I hope it will be made into a film because...more | |

| I go into a Minette Walters novel with expectations set high. So when I place this on my disappointments shelf it is in relation to what I expected from a Minette Walters novel. Compared with some other crime novelists this is still a great read. But...more | |

| This is a very long book. It felt like a very long book as I read it. It is unarguably well written and has 'classic' stamped all through it. But something didn't quite hit the sweet spot for me. All the right ingredients, good characters, interestin...more | |

“Rem tene, verba sequentur: grasp the subject, and the words will follow. This, I believe, is the opposite of what happens with poetry, which is more a case of verba tene, res sequenter: grasp the words, and the subject will follow.”

“I've never had a sustained period of medication for mental illness when I've not been on other drugs as well. It's just not something that I particularly feel I need. I know that I have dramatically changing moods, and I know sometimes I feel really depressed, but I think that's just life. I don't think of it as, "Ah, this is mental illness," more as, "Today, life makes me feel very sad." I know I also get unnaturally high levels of energy and quickness of thought, but I'm able to utilize that.”
