“Feel good humour and a love story.
Read it in a day or two, nothing heavy here. But it pulls you in and leaves a warm feeling, but don’t expect to remember much about it the following week.

“A grieving wife writes to Osama Bin Laden is not an easy concept to carry off, but he does it well.
Arsenal Football ground is the setting of a terrorist bombing and London is under curfew. I’d recommend this one.

“First in a trilogy and very popular at the moment.
Larsson died young and no more will be written, a real shame. Translated from Swedish. Great characters, a well drawn plot and complex without being too complicated.
I’ll read the rest.

“Debut novel by Canadian raised in Ireland. A foreign overseas journalist, this long listed Booker novel and our latest book club read.
It took far too long to read for a 275 page book, and why did I bother, I knew after 50 pages I should have given up. It didn’t get any more interesting, I couldn’t care less about the characters or remember them.
A pointless book which felt like the author showing us how cold journalists are, sorry Ed. Do better next time. Our group gave it an average score of 4/10.
