Jack The Ripper- The uncensored facts by Paul Begg... I am a bit of a Ripperologist and I like this because it doesn't give you his theory on who it was just what happened, so you can draw your own conclusions... I am going to Derby on Thursday night, to see a play based on the movie 'From Hell'

Anybody Out There by Marian Keyes.

If you like Marian Keyes, have a look at Dorothy Koomson's books, she's great or Sophie Kinsella x

 

[SilverSlimmer]

Love Sophie Kinsella books! At present reading Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook.

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry -- brilliant --- in fact id say life changing - a MUST read especially for anyone who has ever been (or wants to go) to India

I'm reading The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas, I'm about half way through and not really enjoying it, not sure I like any of the characters. Has anyone else read it?

I've read this... i didn't care for any of the characters... i didn't care for much actually, i wouldn't recommend it!

That's kind of how I am feeling about, disappointed considering the rave reviews it's getting. I will finish it though I know I will, I don't think I've ever not finished something I've started, even if it is tedious.

Thanks for the review

Hi, there,

I've read The Slap and, like you, I didn't really like any of the characters. However, I'm not sure you are really supposed to. I did like the way the narrative changed and I thought (particularly as it was written by a man) that the perspectives of both sexes was well thought out and well written. There was a little too much swearing and gratuitous sex for my liking, but at the end if the book I found myself nearly shouting out loud "for ***'s sake tell them what a little **** he is" at the then narrator in sheer frustration. I won't spoil it for you, but if you get that far, I think you'll understand what I mean.

Thanks, I am thinking exactly the same about the sex and swearing, mainly because I was with my mom when I brought it and she said she would borrow it afterward (we are quite open about things but still can feel the blushes!). I will keep going, I am already starting to feel that frustration with some of the characters!

 

[Legomom]

I didn't really enjoy The Slap either. I get why the characters are all so flawed but it kind of ruins the read? Your not connected to any of them as you may empathise with some bits but none of them are very likeable/hatable and I really didn't care what happened to them lol
