Well... what can I say. You girls certainly weren't backwards in coming forwards and everyone was more than happy to express their opinion - which is what made it work! Unfortunately, for our inaugural meeting it appears this first book wasn't the most popular amongst our discerning readers as reflected in the scores below, the average rating being 5/10.
Trilby - 6/10 Made her think about issues such as political, family etc
Cara - 5/10 Made her uncomfortable
Leslie - Hadn't read it tsk tsk but snuck in anyway.
Meg - 4/10 Wasn't easy to read, and didn't flow well.
Colleen - 4/10 Didn't think it was particularly well written.
Kerry - 5/10 Wouldn't have selected it to read, likes that book club makes you read diff. choices.
Elizabeth - 5/10 Wasn't easy to read as didn't like the characters
Tahnee - 4/10 In no rush to read again, however, would still recommend it as it made me think.
The conservative ratings didn't stop discussion flowing thick and fast and the talking jug was introduced in an effort to control the uncontrollable (you know who you are).
The next book is 'The Slap' by Christos Tsiolkas and the next meeting will be on the first Tuesday of August at Trilby's house 7.30pm.
Thank you all for coming and contributing - Tahnee
