Jonathan Stroud will be signing copies of this in the Borders in Preston in January. I might just pop along and pick myself up a copy.

This book still makes me shudder to think about it (and don't even get me started on the TV adaptation/film) Most books from school I really enjoyed but this one was pure torture for me. I hated every bit of it and I can't even put my finger on why.

I see Torey is now doing fiction books as well. Has anyone read any of these and how do they compare to the non-fiction?

I wish they'd hurry and decide because it keeps making me cry

It keeps making me cry!! Every time I see it sets me off again. I'm loving it so far though

It's been a while since I've read it (an excuse to dig it out again I think) but from what I remember, it fills in a lot of the gaps from the original. I don't think it was from Rebecca herself but a relative telling her tale.
