The Scores so far

As promised, we thought it would be interesting to see what the average scores were per person, so I have put my number crunching hat and the results are:

Colleen - 5.16
Tahnee - 5.33
Trilby - 5.89
Meg - 5.13
Liz - 7.17
Kay - 6
Debbie - 6.38
Kerry - 6.14

So surprisingly I have enjoyed the books less than Colleen!!!! And just for fun, below is the summary of all of Colleen's comments:



  • Didn't think it was particularly well written

  • Didn't seem real, felt contrived

  • Easy read but boring

  • Flowed well and had a great story line

  • good holiday read.....characters soft and uninteresting

  • Well you would think that the members of the book club, being very
    intellectual type of people would show some respect for the hostess with
    the mostess and not be rude to her. The said hostess has read the book
    and liked it very much. I think I am qualified to report. I find this author
    very true with his writing and his discriptive ability to bring to lif a charactor
    or place is superior to his peers. The book comes to life with his ability to tell
    a story. I love the discriptive pieces about the bush and his ordinary day
    to day happenings. I have read most of his works and enjoyed them all.

  • Could seperate the author from the story line

  • (read the first three chapters) believed that the writing was over desriptive and did not excite interest.

  • A very enjoyable read, soft book

  • bland and boring

  • laborious, didn't like writing style, liked the issues

  • Really enjoyable, liked the format

  • Felt planned, story line good, writing not, Miles Franklin committee flawed!

  • stolen from my shopping cart (if you weren't there trust me don't ask!)

  • Also blown away by the amount of money spent or should I say squandered. Unbelievable amount. The amount of hours all the workers did was amazing. They just seemed to work abound the clock. A slow read but feel it was a bit of an education for me. I feel it was a well written book but not particularly enjoyable one.

  • Good book..ending fissled out

  • Bloody awful

And my personal favourite from colleen:


Self indulgent crap - struggled to finish - Eat, Pray, Love


Happy reading gals
