Ugh! Drivel!

I admit that this is not my thing, but I don‘t think it‘s just a matter of personal taste. I found almost everything about it entirely unconvincing, cliched & predictable. And it was written with such seriousness, not a scrap of wit, while the characters did the stupid stuff that happens in horror movies or survived beatings like the heros of action movies. I would have bailed if I hadn‘t been reading it for book group. #ozfiction

Hooked_on_books Well that‘s a bummer. Gorgeous cover, though. 4mo
Suet624 Love the pissed off nature of this review. 😂 4mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I always think book club discussions are more lively when people didn't like the book 😂 4mo

squirrelbrain Oh dear, that‘s not good! 🤪 On a positive note, thank you for my lovely Christmas card - I love that your cards are always *so* Aussie! 🇦🇺 ❤️ 4mo
LeahBergen I kind of love showing up to book club when I hate the book. 😆 4mo
BarbaraBB Dear friend! I received your package, thank you so much! I‘ll open it before we leave for Switzerland on the 20th, I hope that‘s okay! 😘😘 4mo
CarolynM @BarbaraBB That was quick! You can open it right away if you want to🙂 Switzerland at Christmas must be amazing, can‘t wait to see your photos😘 4mo
CarolynM @LeahBergen @ChaoticMissAdventures Always a lively discussion when there are strong views one way or the other😆 I‘m actually really curious about how the others will respond to this one. 4mo
CarolynM @squirrelbrain A very talented young friend drew the picture & printed the cards for me. Glad you like it😘 4mo
CarolynM @Suet624 Thank you, I think😆 4mo
CarolynM @Hooked_on_books It is, isn‘t it. There‘s some decent nature writing in it too. I think Arnott can write, but based on this and the other one of his I‘ve read, I don‘t think he‘s very good at people 4mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I just saw my favorite booktuber talking about special ordering this and how he keeps meaning to get to it and now I am so curious 🤨 4mo
Centique Ha 😂 Great review! I havent read Arnott yet but i wont try this one anyway. 4mo
Centique Just got something in the post from Reggie so he must be ok but havent had a reply to my email. I hope he got the parcel i sent him anyway 🤞🤞 4mo
CarolynM @Centique Glad to hear Reggie is ok 🙂 Hopefully we‘ll see him back here soon. (edited) 4mo

Word reached the twins that a puma was taking shepherds up in the highlands.
