Bronwen Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 After meeting the author I decided to buy his book, and I must say I really really enjoyed reading These Are Only Words. It's Simon Biggam's first novel, and it's really quite clever and witty, but also dark and just a little bit twisted! The main character is a deluded voyeur who works in a photography section of a shop (like Boots) and starts with his obsession with one girl and a group of friends. At first he sticks to photos, but before he knows it, things are getting really out of control and he takes more and more risks, basically invading the privacy of others almost like an art form, and that's what he describes it as! There are some funny moments, and some where it's more than a little creepy! The ending was rather abrupt, but I won't spoil it for any of you I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. 8/10 snappy snaps :eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
