OK - I'm suitably chastened... If you think that book was bad, please don't try "The Almost Moon", because that was exactly how I felt reading it - horrified, disgusted, bewildered at why anyone would write something like that. It was not a story that needed to be told and I gleaned nothing positive from the experience.I am not a book club fan (never was any good at critical analyses) and I'm not someone that generally reads popular fiction. Often when I have succumbed to the lure of people saying "You must read this", I have been bitterly disappointed. Having said that, I have recently read a book by a Spanish author named Carlos Ruiz Zafon entitled "The Shadow of the Wind", which I loved and I'm now into the sequel "Angel's Game". You'd probably hate it :-)
