If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll already know this first paragraph is always me saying that every book I read and review starts off with the full load of 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful they will all still be firmly rooted in place by the time I close the back cover. You'll also know that I'm not shy about removing stars but I always give my reasons for doing so. The final point I always make in the first paragraph is that I've replaced a star on one of the books I've reviewed, thanks to a magic little sentence right at the back and I'm more than willing to do it again, but only if that magic sentence is there.
There's only a couple of hours to go before I hit the sack, so we'll see how far we get with the reading and reviewing of this book in that time. I'd love for the chapters to be self-contained so that I'm not totally lost when I pick the book up again, but we'll have to wait and see.
Oooh! This could be fun! It sounds like my kinda humour which might even get more than a raised eyebrow or little tiny hint of a smile out of me... that's a hard target to hit so I hope the author is prepared!
Oh yes, I haven't laughed yet but the corners of my mouth have started to move upwards ever so slightly and I've only read one chapter so far... if it keeps going like this, it'll be a rare read-again book for me!
That's the second chapter read and I'm still smiling which is more than most books achieve!
I'm at 22% and I've just finished chapter 3, but it's bedtime for me now. Can't wait to get stuck in again in the morning though!
That chapter was a difficult read, purely for personal reasons that I don't want to go into pubicly. Let's hope the next chapter isn't as intense.
I've been in a similar situation to one of the Mops in that chapter too and I just wanted the same thing... didn't get to see the police about it though.
This is a great book, but unfortunately the first star is coming off because of the use of an old police television programme. I really hope that's the only one though!
Poor Meryl... she must have been scared witless!
Aaaand it's finished perfectly.
It's one of those books that coulda and shoulda been a 5 star if not for the same issue as the vast majority of books that I read and review.
Definitely worth a read if you're a nosey-parker like me :-)
