I've just been told by my flatmate who reads books in a day that it's interesting but he didn't finish it himself.

Fantastic book one of the best I have ever read and has a real kick in the tail. When you have finished it I would like to know what you got out of it.

I so enjoyed reading this book and had no trouble at all believing the first story. Apparently it has been a very popular book in discussion groups and the Web provides a great deal of info on it.

I don't usually reread books. My feeling is that there are too many books out there that I haven't yet read to waste the time on rereading, BUT this is a book I will reread. I've tried to encourage friends of mine to read it, but they are a stubborn lot and are slow to comply. Then when they finally do read it, it's why didn't you tell me.........

I have read it, and I personally don't like it. I have nothing against complex books, but this particular one, I just found dull. The story seemed to be dragging on and on, and though the storyline in a nutshell is quite interesting, the way it's presented was not to my taste.

It is well worth the effort, it was the only new book I read last year, and enjoyed. It has multiple meanings, which you can take or leave as you wish.
