Humourous but lacks depth. Short chapters and page turning stuff. Bit like eating vanilla ice cream, nice while you eat it .

“Based on the daring feat of Philippe Petit who walked a tightrope between the twin towers NYC.
This though is far more complex than that. A novel that doesn’t have a plot, more a collection of characters and an event. Very interesting how one of the characters describes the feat as ‘Living Art’ clever this author.

“First novel. A thriller set in Sussex. Lots and lots of short chapters.
Begins nicely with a serial killer running amok through a country village.
If it’s a page turner you are after this might do you well.I found it a bit thin and couldn’t see how this could happen.

“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.
