I was really enjoying it until the 'revelation' then lost interest a bit. Glad I stuck with it though because it did pick up again and certainly provided a lot of food for thought.

I was starting ot get bored with this until the thing we mustn't talk about happened! Its really worth reading and leaves a lot of food for thought afterwards!

Got this from the library and have almost finished it, been reading it till late in the night. Will be sad when I've finished it but can't stop reading it!

Saw this in a bookshop the other week, it's on my list to read.

Sorry, I suppose the thread title is a bit cryptic. It's an odd title for a book.

So intrigued by this, I googled it and read some reviews. Now I am very intrigued. Amazon are doing it in their 3 for £10. Now to find two more!

I loved it.

I've just finished it and enjoyed it. I was surprised by the revelation a third of the way in. Can't say anymore without spoiling it.

I've read it and loved it and been recommending it. There's a good offer on Book People if you haven't got a Kindle.

broomsticks Mon 24-Nov-14 20:52:59

Yes, definitely no-one say what it is about!! grin

And another one joins the 'to read' queue on my kindle. hmm

Sounds interesting. smile

Oh, but the title reflects the content, so you have to read it first! I absolutely loved it - witty, cleverly constructed and so surprising and informative - learning by osmosis.

And you can't tell anyone what it is about because you don't know for a while, so you can't spoil it. I am surprised it didn't get a better run at the Booker.

I found that thread title a little obscure as well.
I am now enlightened. smile

Nonu Mon 24-Nov-14 17:31:09

Okay , thanks.!!

Ana Mon 24-Nov-14 17:13:08

I've got the book, but it's having to wait its turn to be read!

(Oh dear, another thread I'm going to have to avoid in case of spoilers...grin)

annodomini Mon 24-Nov-14 17:10:11

The book title is the post title, Nonu. I've read and enjoyed it but it's impossible to say what it's about without committing a spoiler!

Nonu Mon 24-Nov-14 17:02:17

Read what ?

broomsticks Mon 24-Nov-14 16:56:01

Has anyone else read this? I found it quite long winded but on the whole loved it. Very clever dripping of information!
