What a strange book. Six people in London, living a merry go round of relationships. With eachother. They are so unlikable, all of them. And stubborn and vain and stupid. Murdoch did a great job making me feel this way but in the end it‘s certainly not my favorite book by her.

Reviewsbylola Yeah the characters sound very frustrating! 6y

RaimeyGallant Is it a mystery? 6y

BarbaraBB @RaimeyGallant No, I wonder too why that sworth is on the cover! 6y

RaimeyGallant Lol :) 6y

I couldn‘t stand this one. I did not find it funny and I really don‘t see what this books adds to literature in general in order to be on a list of “must read” books. It was just awful. @Dulcinella @BarbaraBB @Sarah83 What a lot of shitty books we have chosen! #stdb2018

Kappadeemom Oh my gosh, I loved them 😂 6y

BarbaraBB Lol, yes, they are definitely not the best although I have only read two so far. I am still waiting for @Dulcinella to send me the next! 6y

Dulcinella @barbarabb @tricours they are at the post office. But the post office is on strike... 😳 6y

Dulcinella But that should be finished next week. 6y

Ddzmini Love the use of the pic 🤣🤣🤣 6y

BarbaraBB Do you still have this one, Rebecka? Would you mind sending it back to me? I‘d like to get it back one day and I know that Claire should read it first but that‘s not going to happen I think. 6y

tricours Sure! But why do you think Claire won‘t read it? @BarbaraBB 6y

BarbaraBB I don‘t think she has found the time to read or mail one of the other books in her possession at the moment. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

BarbaraBB Thanks for returning the book, Rebecka! I love all your and @Sarah83 ‘s comments in it 💕 6y

Sarah83 @BarbaraBB I will read the next book this month... I was a bit stressed at work and couldn't read many English books. Hope to send it to you until the end of January. 💪 6y

Vile Bodies has arrived! And some delicious chocolate ❤️ Thanks @Sarah83 ! But was there a notebook in there or not? The parcel was torn in so many places and had several holes! @BarbaraBB @Dulcinella #stdb2018

Mitch Ooh- marzipan! My favourite! 👍🏼 6y

Sarah83 Oh sorry. 😒 I thought, I wrapped it enough. Curious how long it was on its way. 🙄 No, all notes are within the book itself. 6y

BarbaraBB Glad it reached you. Looking forward to your notes! 6y

What I love about the book is the publisher's edition... 😏 I mean, I liked the second part of the book much more than the first one. Maybe I read the book at the wrong time (because of the marriage's stress) but I had the main problem, that I couldn't remember all the characters. So many people visit so many other people and drink... Mhm. The second part, when less people are involved the action got clear to me. 😊 #stdb2018

Sarah83 @tricours I will send it to you on Saturday. 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘ve only read one Waugh so far but I have this on my TBR. 6y

Breakfast and a book. Hope I finish this book this week... I really have my difficulties with it. 🤔 #stdb2018 @BarbaraBB @tricours @Dulcinella who wants to read it next?

Tanisha_A Nutella! 😛 Yummiest thing on the planet. 6y

tricours Send It to me! 😊 6y

JazzFeathers Really? What kind of difficulties? This is on my TBR. I want to read it as 'research' for my 1920s Europe writing project. 6y

BarbaraBB I liked it better than you I think, even though I wouldn‘t recommend it to others. 6y

jmofo Yeah, Waugh can be a sticky wicket. I enjoyed audiobook of Decline and Fall but I think that was largely because Rik Mayall read it and I adore him. I did some research on Waugh and now I‘m even more disinclined to seek out his books. 😕 6y

Sarah83 @BarbaraBB the main characters nerve me. that's the main problem... 6y
