Hi All,
Even though I am not in this following of the book, because of lack of time. I would love to be in one that isn't sad. I like humour, and mysteries and steamy sex novels. I know I know, will I ever fit in?

Hi all

I've finished the book fortunately, next weekend I'm watching the DVD with my husband, he's curious to know what happens! I didn't tell him the story! haaaa!!

ciao

Hi Sharon
Well, the DVD is not so bad, the story is quite different from the book, of course the book is long and they had to cut lots of things, but I liked the end of the film in the DVD.
My husband said that the story is ridiculous, because a mother cannot do this awful things to her sons, but unfortunately I said to him that this still happens.
ciao

Silvy ,You can tell your husband that this book was actually meant to be a true story ,It was said that it was about the author but this has been denied and she was known to have said it was a friend of hers that it happened to ,She has died a long time ago so i guess it is hearsay now.xx

Found it very emotional, had a few tears in places. Not read anything like that before.

I've got my new copy aand have started reading ti again.

I'm afraid that I dont get much time for reading but I'm doing my best.

I'm only upto page 43 where they've just walked to the Mums parents house. I think I 'might have worked out what is going on as to why her Father was so ashamed of her though.....but we shall see. I will keep on reading as I'm determined to finish this book even if I have to leave it it the bathroom for 'loo reading' Ha Ha Ha!!! (I know , too much information!! Tut tut!! Naughty Jennifer !! )

Incidentally, I picked up another book the other day from my local hospice shop. It's called 'The Kid' by Kevin Lewis. This one looks really good and would make an excellant next book for the reading club.

Just an idea.

Love Jennifer XXX

I have to let all of you know

I have 2 series of books that I have been looking for, for I couldn't tell you the number of years

1 series I have 6 of the 8 books and the other I have 4 of the 6 books and I can tell you at periods Bill and myself have travelled to every book store that is available to us looking for the 4 books I have been missing for years!!!

I have searched ebay on and off for year amazon is another one but the postage is hugh ebay uk and ebay USA have at time had some of the books but once again the cost of postage is hugh and I could not justify it so THEN

Yesterday as I set about looking once again for these books BILL found a fanastic book site in the US what a wonderful place it had all my books and only charged be $4.99 for each one delivery gosh that is great and it gets better they use PAYPAL :)

I already have confirmation of the order of cause they will take a bit to get here but I so excited to finally be able to get them

So if there have been any books you all have been looking for try here :)
