Michelle Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 As Little Face seems to be a popular book atm, I thought I'd give the author her own thread. Who's reading it, and what are your thoughts? (Remember spoiler tags for those still waiting to get it.) The authors web site is http://www.sophiehannah.com - has anyone read anything else of hers? Quote
1sillywabbit Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Not read any others by her yet!! but how this one is going, Sure I will be See she has another Fiction out in April 2007, Opps! started on next years TBR already I'm really enjoying 'little face' Wabbit xx Quote
pontalba Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I finished it last night, er this morning. All in all I liked it. I found it did drag a bit about three quarters through, and I wish more information had been given on certain character points. I actually wonder if she is going to make the detective, Simon Waterhouse part of a series. There was plenty of room left for that as he was a fully developed, but mysterious character. There is an interesting twist that you might not see coming. Can't wait till some others finish. Quote

Ive Still not worked it out, Had a shock while reading it last night my Town was mentioned, Charlie and Simon, went to an address there... lol if you have the book top page 247 Just thought it unusual... Wabbit xx Quote
Michelle Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 I just started this last night, and I liked the way the first chapter was written. The second one, however, I has some trouble 'adjusting' to. I'll see how it goes... Quote
1sillywabbit Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I just started this last night, and I liked the way the first chapter was written. The second one, however, I has some trouble 'adjusting' to. I'll see how it goes... I had a job with The back and forth between time frames and characters at first, but keep going Michelle, it does get easier to follow ... Also found at first I was rushing through to get back to Alice Took me quite awhile to read, but only because so much going on with the Christmas rush etc. Won't say anymore just yet... other than I really enjoyed it.

Michelle Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 I'm going to have to postpone now for a short time.. I have a library book and a manuscript that take priority... I will be back to it though. Quote
pontalba Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I believe I liked it better in retrospect than during actually. I was so irritated with the mother...gosh, I'm forgetting her name already. But, oh I won't say more till more people finish it. Suffice it to say, I was surprised at the ending, and not altogether pleasantly. Quote

Wabbit xx Whoops, wrong mother, I meant Alice the mother of the baby. I pulled the book from the other pile finally. Michelle said she was starting, but was waylaid by other bookish obligations. So a bit later I expect. Quote
Michelle Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 Yep, please be careful with spoilers, as I will be coming back to this one. Quote
pontalba Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I'm not usually too surprised at an ending, but this one managed that. I have to say that about three-quarters through, I was stalled, and really didn't feel like reading it anymore, but a turn around came, and I'm glad I plugged through. Quote

Take no notice of silly me, why I thought you meant Vivienne I don't know, she was Mother in Law and Grandmother yes Alice Michelle -> Boo! lol Wabbit xx Quote
Sugar Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I read a review of this in the Bookseller before it was published and it looked really good. A couple of months after that I got hold of the library copy. I still have it sat waiting to be read. As you say, though, Michelle - it seems to have had a sudden surge in popularity recently and I have just noticed that someone has requested it. That means I need to return it by its duedate of the 8th Jan - so I better get a move on!!!! Quote
