I will be interested to find that out but will not be buying the book as the film was a bit lacklustre to say the least.

So what are you reading at the moment? And what's good/ bad/ worth recommending/ worth avoiding about it?
For me it's currently "The Truth" by Terry Pratchett.
A story from the Discworld, Pratchett takes another of his hilarious satirical side-swipes at the lunacies of this world (helped, no doubt, by his experiences of working as a journalist before he started writing fiction).
As usual his plots and characterisations are spot on, the writing is excellent, humorous without being forced, touching without being sentimental and his observations are sharp and witty without being laboured.
If you've ever read Discworld and enjoyed it, you'll love this one, if you haven't, it's a good place to start because you don't really need to have read the earlier stories to understand the background.
Definitely recommended! |
avenger by freddie forsythe excellent.
