Yeah, it just didn't seem to gel properly. Stephen Send a noteboard - 01/01/2012 04:01:45 PM
Most dissapointing/bad was definitely When We Were Orphans by Ishiguro.

Camilla and I have discussed that book before, and we don't really get it either, but still enjoyed the book. On the whole.


I don't think its objectively a bad book, just one that didn't meet my expectations or quite fulfill its promise.

In Cold Blood was probably the best, Black Out/All Clear was pretty bad. *NM* Orange - 19/12/2011 10:57:23 AM 343 Views
