Hi Janell,
Between you me and the doorpost, I must confess, there are few things more difficult for me than the idea that a book is not quite as good as I expected but not bad enough to stop reading. Good luck with your reading and here's hoping it becomes an effortless pleasure! ]]>

This question came to mind when I saw that Julie had just listened to "The Shining" and had recommended that you listen with the light on and then I thought about what I had learnt from Horror and SciFi books. From Izac Azimov I have learnt that if you pull the blanket over your head, the monsters disappear and from Stephen King, don't worry, the worst is NOT over. This is just some fun so let's see where it takes us:-) ]]>

No, it doesn't have to be..."
I'd like the eclectic nature of the book. And because it will be the best bits, I'll comfort myself that I won't have to wade through the boring bits!

What did I learn from this book:? WeLl I suppose that there is a sucker born every minute... and a sure sign is to buy this piece of undiluted garbage. So from my position of supreme suckerdom, please heed my warning... do not I repeat do not read this c#@p and to buy it is simply unforgiveable!!!!! ]]>

Hi Spuddy
I totally agree on the author no-no, except for Angela's Ashes. I can't remember the author but he read the story extremely well. ]]>
