I will rate ur more recent reviews when I have more e's available. I'd give this e then as well but it would not help u get diamond funds until more folks give it e. by newprideexperiadj2
You've grasped the book well here - the problem I found was Ronson's discourse style - eg...the his use of the word: "silence" - or pausing after a searching prose. This led me to think Ronson was attempting satire. It depleted the tension and credibility of the book. by 1st2thebar

Excellently reviewed.John by Coloneljohn
The Germans were quicker to discover this series. The Brits are always reluctant to translate foreign books even if they're successful. Arrogance? I read it in the early 1970s. Then the books were topical, now they're dated. by MALU

Victorian London Pratchett Syle
Review of Dodger - Terry Pratchett by farmcott

Advantages: Very Readable Ideal Train Journey Fun Book

Review of Tom-All-Alone's - Lynn Shepherd by brokenangelkisses

Disadvantages: Hester's narration is a little irritating

I enjoy reading Dickens' books so when I heard about this book, the plot of which runs parallel to the events of Dickens' 'Bleak House', I was keen to find out more. Listening to a talk given by the author convinced me that the book would be worth a read ... Read review
