Is there anything that still needs to be said? Anyone out there who doesn’t actually have a copy of this on their house?

Given the sales figures I somehow doubt it!!

Some people are no doubt disappointed by it, others will love it - I’m somewhere in between. It’s typical Dan Brown stuff, and I don’t mean that as a criticism.

This book is brilliant - stop reading this drivel and go buy it now!

If someone presented this tale to you and told you they had just made it up, it was a figment of their imagination then you would read it and enjoy it but at the back of your mind you would probably think that at times it had gone a bit too far, it was a bit too far-fetched from reality. Some of the stuff which happens would never happen in real-life would it?

I struggled with this book to be honest.

There are some things in life that just pass me by. I went to see The Matrix at the cinema and didn’t have a clue what was going on after about 5 minutes - if that! It was much the same with this book too, and I was sorely tempted to give up and start something else but I stuck with it and I’m kinda glad I did.

The catch-up didn’t happen quite as quickly as I’d hoped, but anyways…

To be honest, I’d never heard of Karin Slaughter - but what an excellent name for an author who writes about people being murdered etc!! The book was cheap, hence me buying it having never heard of the author before…

Crikey, haven’t been here in a while I’m ashamed to say.

So, it’s time for a bit of a catch up as far as books are concerned. With less than 3 months to go, I’ve written about 18 books on here so still 12 to go to reach the magical number of thirty which I hoped to have read by the end of 2009.

That’s pretty much a book a week which although it isn’t an unattainable target, it’s unlikely - especially with the things which are coming in the weeks ahead…
