I've never read anything by Graham Joyce so I'm really looking forward to this.
I am only 50 pages in, which really basically takes me as far as the synopsis, but liking it so far. At first I thought the book was a straightforward crime procedural...but then a man on a horse showed up in the forest...I think my questions for Graham would be the same as yours...what was the inspiration for the book, any particular fairy tale? Did he enjoy fairy tales as a kid?
I had to return my copy unread to the library as when I opened it up it had a burned cigarette hole on a page, ashes in the crease and the same page was completely ripped in half. Gross. So I returned it and am back on hold for a 'good' copy.
I really liked Some Kind of Fairy Tale and will definitely be seeking out more books by Graham Joyce.
i have this one literally on my nighstand. i hope to get to it next.
I just finished listening to the podcast and Darrin was really perfect to be the third person in the panel discussion.
i finished this over the holiday. i found it an interesting story. i have never heard of joyce and can't believe it as he's a prolific writer. i will have to search out others by him.thanks for the recommendation simon and gavin.
I just finished reading this, albeit a little late for the Book Club participation. Wow! It was a good one. I am definitely a fan of Graham Joyce now. The ending too was well done I thought. I am going to go back and listen to the podcast from December now--I was saving for when I had completed the book. Looking forward to hearing it!
