This book is a fair distraction from the world‘s going ons. Plays well, especially at the beginning, drags its feet with the forever end. I could see why people might bail, but I did stay the course with the wry humor and slapstick action...

Bailing. 60 pages in and I'm bored, despite the author throwing in little sexy bits (via the protagonist's work as a prostitute) to bait the reader. I'm an experienced woman, I need more than a teasing titillation to get me going. WITH READING, sheesh, where is your mind? 😇
Another fantastic narrative voice from Liz Jensen. Funny, cheeky and playful. Packed full of literary references from the first line. Suspend all of your disbelief and enjoy.
Such a fun book....sparkly and very funny narrative voice....plus glorious descriptions e.g. 'the freezing owl-hooting night'.
LOVE indeed!
My first time with this book years ago was the excellent audio book, so I really wasn't expecting the illustrations. It always sets up a weird, though not unpleasant vibe for me, like kids pictures in an adult novel.
Only other modern book i can think of right now like this is Jonathan Strange but there must be others
When you get home from work early and one of your new books has arrived.....listened to the audio book of this years ago....looking forward to this.
