Better late than never
Right so finally getting around to the update for the book club which was at my place on the 2nd September. The book was Time Traveller's wife.
Overall the group enjoyed the book to varying degrees but there seemed to be a general consensus that the author could have done more with the storyline, that the plot was a bit confusing, none of us understood why he had to lose his feet and overall a little bit blah. In particular, people thought the following:
Colleen - 5/10 - Easy read but boring
Liz - 7/10 - Liked it but it could have been more. Inviting and encouraging, glad I visualised Henry as Brad Pitt and romantic
Tahnee - 4/10 - Nice read
Sandra - 5/10 - Bit blah and confusing
Deb - 6.5/10 - Enjoyable but gave me a headache
Meg - 7/10 - Liked it but unfilled potential
Leslie (who didn't finish reading it so...............) 7/10 so far and looking forward to finishing it. Lacking some spice
Trilby - 4/10 - like a romantic comedy
Cara now has a black mark against her name for not reading it and has promised that she will read the next one. :)
And the next book is (drumroll please............)
"The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" - by David Wroblewski and will be at Sandra's house in Seville. If you don't know the address please text Tahnee (as I think that I have already lost it!!!!)
Happy reading everyone and see you on the 6th October. Wishing Deb safe travels to America as well
