hi all does anyone have a good old fashioned chicken soup recipe? I want to make some to fend off colds and chest infections this winter as ive read its the best thing! need to make sure kaitlyn doesnt catch anything nasty , thanks kay:D

firstly say that I really enjoyed this book:readingtwo: 1. My favourite character was George- I felt I "cared" most about him - although each character gets to tell you things from their perspective i found it was George's dialogue that I was most interested in. I really felt for him during his "suffering" -having worked with mentally ill people I can understand a bit more about what he felt and why he acted the way he did. 2. I didnt particularly dislike any of the book although I found some of Jamie's dialogue more tedious than others at times. I really didnt "like" the rest of George's family - I thought it summed things up when Kaite tells George he's being selfish - i think that shows how selfish she is! and how little she understands of how her dad feels. 3. I had read the curious Incident of the dog in the nighttime - it was a while ago and I had no pre conceived ideas when i read this - it is different - i like them both equally. 4.Overall I really enjoyed this book - it kept me hooked I wanted to read on to find out what happened - the more i read the more supported George- I think parts were so well written that they made me whince or cry or laugh out loud - looking forward to seeing what everyone else thought , must go as baby just woke up! Kayx:lol:

Hello there:welcomeboard:enjoy and get chatting -look forward to hearing about your fav books ,kay:D

Just finished this and did enjoy it - a good story told well although a little over descriptive in places - I was annoyed as the book went on that David didnt reveal the secret ! as it so obviously impacted on the whole family and indeed David's own happiness.

I did - absolutely loved them all -

this is on my reading list:readingtwo:

Ohh go on Roland Butter - take a chance and read it

Hello , from another newbie- I have to say that I recall reading American Psyco in the bath once and ended up throwing it across the room in disgust!:motz:farid it was too much for me - saw the film though:blush:

Maureen no I wasnt saying it was a true story but rather that the rescuers didnt believe him - i wondered what you thought and you've answered that now! brilliant book i may have to re read it soon

hiya I have nominated this as the October Read - I think its one of those rare books that will be a classic and one which I think everyone should read! I thought it was an extraodinary read - did you think Pi was telling the true story or not?! As you say at times i held my breath too . i loved this book , will treasure it and one i will no doubt read again kayx
