I was so looking forward to this book and raced through it as I was watching it on Apple TV. Read a few reviews about the ending being far fetched and a swift end to what turned out to be a not very interesting mystery. A shame because it starts off well and seems intriguing.

The Paper Palace: A Novel | Miranda Cowley Heller
Pickpick

I have no words for how much I loved this book. I can‘t even describe why exactly other than it was one of those books that makes you look forward to slipping into the world created by the author.

Randomly found this in my kindle app in the hospital waiting room and although the plot is somewhat predictable it‘s the first book I‘ve devoured in a long long time!

Nice bit of easy reading/chick lit. Starts off well and then drags but ends happily. Of course.

I was so excited for this book coming out but what a disappointment. Way too much description, not enough story and a heroine I just couldn‘t like.

Read this way back in 2006. Thought it would generic chick lit but a pretty gut wrenching tale.

Total chick lit but a delightful story and bit of escapism.

Part of this book crushed me. My work colleague at the time loaned it to me and told me he through the book across the lab when he got to the bad bit.

A lunch time thriller, back when I could read at lunch times.

Loved this book SO much! I wish I was this brave. I read this after seeing the film and before I walked The West Highland Way here in Scotland. What a book.

What a disappointment. I was in two minds about reading this after reading that Harper Lee never wanted it published and I can understand why. Maybe I missed something but literally nothing happens throughout the book.

So I must have read this back in 96/97 and it‘s still one of my favourite books. Still relevant, sadly. But what a work of literature.

The Help | Kathryn Stockett

Loved this book. Seeing the film never puts me off because I know the book will have so much more. This maybe tops To Kill a Mockingbird for me.
