[le...] Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Took me quite few chapters to get into it but the second half lot better. She is good author is worth trying some of her other book they're in different style to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Waiting on it to get better. It's like pulling teeth. I agree that we should continue reading it. I always tell my daughter that if a book doesn't keep her interest them read it anyway because there's something to get out of it. But this one fooled me at the prologue.... When Marjery encountered that crazy fool. I thought wow this is gonna be so good...then it's like crickets chirping & falling asleep boring. I'm just going to follow my own advice & keep going.

[ki...] Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 It’s not that I’m not enjoying it, her writing style is the kind that just takes me more time to absorb and that makes me sleepy. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[le...] Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This isn't like her normal books at all, try Ship of Brides, or one made film of think Me before You, she's normally really good must written it on an Off day. The Foundling I read recently was really good can't remember author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sh...] Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’m waiting for ship of brides at the library and also the husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Looking forward to reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[le...] Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Got to chapter 19 now I've given up it's all bit too predictable what is going happen in the end, did sneak a look at the back. Do try her other books normally they are a good read, she's just gone off course with this one. Did all of you enjoy Flowers in the Attic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ki...] Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Flowers was very good! I’ve been busy reading a parenting book so didn’t get a chance to make Amy headway with Giver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ki...] Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That reminds me... I have a few suggestions for the next book. 1. Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich 2. Atonement by Ian McEwan 3. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 My vote is for atonement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sh...] Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Definitely atonement x I’ll keep going for a bit with the book. I don’t mind it. Such a shame oh well. Ok so I’ll order atonement from library x great pic kits. Leann are u keen for atonement or have u already read it? I have a thing for James mcavoy so I loved that movie.

[ki...] Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The movie was so good (and heartbreaking)! I didn’t know it was a book until I happened to see it at a bookstore and snapped it up then and there. It’s listed in my book “1001 books to read before you die”.

[Sh...] Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Yes it’s very sad but an amazing story. I didn’t realize it was a book either until I watched the holiday (Cameron Diaz, Kate winslet, Jude law) and saw it in a pile of books she had to read. I can’t wait to read it! I got my copy from the library today so I’m ready when u guys are x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading Normal People at moment which enjoying so I'll stick with that. I know you didn't like it though. I vaguely remember the film I'm not a fan of Keira Knightly though have to say. The weather here awful at moment wet and cold hate winter even normally but going to be grim this year as none of clubs normally go to running. Be interesting to see what happens in the US elections!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sh...] Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I was reading it 2 years ago when I first got sick and was very depressed and it’s about a guy who had depression so was bit much at the time. I’m looking forward to atonement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[le...] Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's OK so far I'll see how it goes. Did do a series on TV but got bit bored with it book better. You should try Jody Picoult I love her books all really different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[le...] Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just shows we're all different, I'm liking book so far, but got bored with TV series. Glad you are enjoying Giver of Stars, should try her others normally I really like hers, maybe it's coz this is a very different style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
