RE: The Red Notebook BY Antoine Laurain

First published March 5th 2014.
Set in France and translated from French.

The title attracted me.
On 7/11/18, I was despairing that I'd never find another good book. I was wrong.

I'm glad that I didn't give up searching. It's hard to find a book that doesn't center around crime or murder. It pays to keep on searching!

I loved this book and read it in one afternoon (7/11/18)!

I can't say enough good things about this book! It's one of the best I've ever read.

I didn't know much about it before I read it and I'm glad I didn't. It was that much more of a gift.

I'm going to look for more books by this author. He seems very clever and droll.

I said the same in my review at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Joy, I had forgotten that I'd read that book until I saw your review. I agree with you. It was an excellent read. I'll look up some titles of books I've read that seemed similar to it.

OK, Nina. Thanks.

Definitely adding this to my list - your comments on thinking you'd never find another good book - got to me. Same with movies and tv shows.

I enjoy a good mystery and detective story. Logic and process, putting the pieces together. However, many a movie and television show seem to try to outdo the last story and add more violence and horrific situations. So, I turn to Hallmark shows and endure some of the corny stuff just to watch something non-violent and heart-warming.

Where do we sign up to tell authors, producers - some of us (wonder what percentage) would like non-violent books, shows, movies?

Linda, I know what you mean. They are appealing to the teen-agers, I think.

PS - Books like "The Red Notebook" are few and far between.
