~Andrea~ Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Has anybody read this? I got up to page 88 and then gave up but I'm not sure if I could go back and try to finish it. If you've read it, does anything interesting ever happen? Is it worth continuing? Or is it just more of the same? I was finding it a bit tedious, it seemed to be more descriptions of people's day to day life with nothing really exciting going on. Quote
Janet Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Hmm - I read a Freya North book a few years ago and hated it. I can't remember which on it was though so I'll have a search on Amazon and see if it was the same one. What I found really annoying was that she kept drifting from first person to third person! ETA: Well, none of them ring a bell, although I think it was one of the 'girl names' ones! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Oh dear Well it sounds as though my first instinct is proving the right one then. Thanks for your comments. Quote

ETA: Well, none of them ring a bell, although I think it was one of the 'girl names' ones! Jane Green does that first/third thing as well. Sometimes she borders on the second, which is a tad gimmicky and damn confusing! Re: Freya North. I found her first three novels in a charity shop for 50p (not each - I mean all in)! What are they called? Holly, Molly and Dolly or something? Carrie, Barry and Larry? Quote
happyanddandy Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 There's a Pip and a Pet in there somewhere Quote

~Andrea~ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 I've read freya north books for years too. I've read "Love Rules" it's a good read,! Thanks SBW, does anything very interesting happen after page 88 or does it continue at roughly the same pace for the rest of the book? Quote

~Andrea~ Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 I abandoned this in the end I am sorry to say. I don't think it will get a second chance either, such is the size of my TBR. Quote
JennifredBean Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Ive read some Freya North books.... i think they were 'Fen', 'Pip' and 'Polly' but i wan't fussed on them. I found they dragged quite a lot, it could have been cut down quite a bit, as i thought there was too much 'extra' bits in it that weren't really needed. I want to read 'Pillow Talk' now though, i quite like the sound of it =] Quote
Blossom Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I was unable to get into Freya North's work. I received a couple of her books one Christmas from my mam, and I swapped them for something more readable. I can't put my finger on what the problem was... Quote
scottishbookworm Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks SBW, does anything very interesting happen after page 88 or does it continue at roughly the same pace for the rest of the book?I don't want to spoil it for you if you've not read the book! if you have then yes it gets interesting to read.

BookBee8 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I read this years ago and from what I remember, it was quite a good read. However, saying that, I don't remember the story! It was quite unforgettable but I do know I enjoyed it at the time. Not a favourite of mine though Quote
