Maybe slightly more intended for readers younger than I am, but very good writing, fast-paced with lots of suspense. Half way through and on the whole very much enjoying this.

Oh very good so far, am nearly halfway through, and find it very difficult to stop reading when "real life" interferes, like having to go to work! ;)

About a third way in, and really love it so far. Short stories, some very short, some a bit longer, all a bit sombre, maybe even sad sometimes, but loving them all so far.

A bit very far-fetched? Difficult for me as European to follow the protagonists' actions and reactions.

Oh I like this!

very sombre, very "psychological", but not bad.

ummm... what???

Way over my head with all those mononlogues, or just darned boring. About half way through and it still does not make sense, although the action seems to be picking up a bit.

A quarter through and still no idea where this is going. So far, my opinion is I am either too stupid to understand this book, or too spoilt by "good" books. I will read on a bit, but am tempted to just ditch this. Too many monologues.

First of the five books finished, I found it a bit boring, with no discernible plot and way too much information (why are the female protagonist's stinky feet important?)

Boring. Talking constantly about someone's hotness or being turned on, or just what sexual favours you'd like someone to do does not make a good book if there is not enough of a plot around sex. It's not even as funny as it's supposed to be.

Oooh I love this!

meh

Really struggling through this. The narration is so erratic.

Something for every day of the year. I will try and read it, for every day, starting on 1 January (as I understand, they daily words build up). Though I cheated a bit and started already with today's words.

A Mary O'Reilly short story. Stranded in her new house over Christmas due to a storm, this story tells how Mary meets her two elderly friends who readers know quite well from the usual books.
Lovely story, good plot and what I would call a typical charming Mary O'Reilly!
Thank you to the author for this little gem.

Only just started the second chapter, and already love this book - absolutely crazy characters, not found the plot yet, but so far the book got me snorting with laughter.

Good story so far, but oh! the grammar. The author doesn't make a difference between the possessive 's and the normal plural s, nor does the difference between who and whom seem to be known. And don't get me started on the noun for gerunds.

Overly dramatic, weak and completely unrealistic characters, and absolutely awful grammar and spelling (excuse me, but "would of thought"??? really???)

Verity and Frankie are at it again - not so willingly as far as Frankie is concerned, as this time, Verity seems to have bitten off something too big for her to handle.
Sympathetic and very likeable characters with lots of quirks and - well - character, good plots and an easy and flowing narration style make these books a joy to read, and will guarantee some hours of entertainment.
