I can't quite believe I am writing this but I am going to give up on Martina Cole - Faces.
I am finding it a chore to read it and reading should be a joy. I got into bed last night and fancied a read but didn't want to read this book so that made my mind up. I will put it back on the bookshelf and try again in the future......
I think the problem with this book is that there is too much description writing and not enough 'doing' if that makes sense. I also think that she is churning out books too quickly (one a year) and not spending enough time on writing them.
I am so disppointed.
Four Past Midnight is a set of four short stories which are very good and easy to get into. Also Rose Madder is another easy Stephen King.
The Stand is great like FishandChips said but very very long!
Thanks a.book.in.the.life, it's really disappointing when you really look forward to a book and then it lets you down....
I started with The Know. Very gritty but impossible to put down! I also really enjoyed The Ladykiller, another great book!
Well it's been 7 days since I started my Martina Cole and I have to say i'm a little disapointed with it. Normally I would have finished her books by now and i'm still only on page 83......It just hasn't been holding my attention.
I am so hoping that it picks up soon.
I would like to make more time to read in the new year.
I have read very little this year compared to previous years so I would like to read at least a book a week in 2008.....
