November 2011 - Come Sunday by Isla Morley

Unfortunately this book was not a hit with our group, firstly a few members couldn't get hold of a copy in time, and therefore didn't read it, another gave up after reading only half, and the majority of the remaining felt they had to slog through to the end as it was a book club book. A couple of members did say that they liked it, but due to it being quite a depressive read, struggled to read much at any one time.

Within the first few chapters Abbe’s three year old daughter Cleo is run over and killed in a neighbourhood on an Hawaiian street, this comes as quite a shock to most of the members, some the nature of the event, others at how soon in the book it occurs.

Of course we understand that Abbe suffers the grief of losing her only child, but the theme of the book continues to follow Abbe wallowing in her grief, and also has several half hearted religious elements to it.

The book could have been a really good idea, as the most interesting passages tended to be those about her youth, and specifically her parents relationship in South Africa. Sadly, being set in both South Africa and Hawaii, you’d expect to read plenty of descriptive scenes; this is not the case, Morley vaguely touches on these cultural descriptions that our book club has grown to love in our books.

The only character that was developed by Morley was that of Abbe, other characters are mentioned throughout the book, but we did not get to know any of them. Many felt sorry for Abbe’s husband, and found it interesting why so many women brought up the local children (Abbe, Jenny and Theresa were all like mothers to Cleo).

Other than the death of a young girl, the group were also disturbed by how Abbe scattered Cleo’s ashes on her own and how Abbe spoke to Theresa at Jake’s funeral. The members did like how before Abbe, left for South Africa, she found the man who killed her daughter and forgave him, allowing him to forgive himself for the terrible accident.

The ending was very predictable, we were pleased the orphanage remained and that Abbe did help the children in the end. The group also appreciated finding out that Abbe’s mother had poisoned Abbe’s father. If anything the ending was a little too tidy, considering the rest of the book had been so disjointed.

None of our members would aim to read anything by Morley again, unless the book covered a different theme and came highly recommended.

This book, although technically easy to read, was difficult to stick with, which is why it has scored so poorly (sorry to Isla Morley if you ever see this review). Seven members read the book, highest score 5 and lowest score 2, giving us an average of 4 out of 10.

October 2011 - The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald

This book was chosen as we felt our group had been lacking the “classic”, generally our members either like classics or don’t but The Great Gatsby was fairly well received, mainly because it was a short book. Very well written, with rich content, it wasn't the quickest book to read, regardless of it’s size.

It was mentioned by a few members that although the book was hard to get into, by half way it became enjoyable. Very much a story of “The American Dream”, the characters were shallow, selfish and mainly boring – Although these qualities were stereotypical of the people of the era, it didn't deter us readers from liking the book, even though we disliked all of the characters. Those people who have watched TV programmes such as “Made in Chelsea” compared the show to a modern day Gatsby, showing all the undesirable qualities of the Gatsby characters. Social climbing and networking played a huge part, people showing up to the famous Gatsby Parties, but no one actually recognising him when they met him. More TV shows that the book was compared to were “Through the Keyhole”, “Cribs” and even “Come dine with me” – All participating in “showing off” a beautiful house and belongings.

We were not sure of the character of Nick, his opinions of his fellow characters seemed very superficial, we never really got to see their positive qualities (if they had any)! It always seemed as though he was on the outside looking in, and we had to wonder if should another character (such as Jordan) been the narrator, the story may have had a completely different feel about it. Nobody felt that Gatsby was great, so the title would have either come from his opinion of himself or the initial perception of his acquaintances.

The one part of the book we all thought summed up the people of the era, was at Gatsby’s funeral. None of his so called friends showed up to pay their respect, which although sad from Gatsby’s point of view (everyone would like to think people would attend their funeral), it perhaps said more about his “friends”. They were more than happy to attend his parties, but no one felt the need to attend his funeral. We were all happy Gatsby’s father showed up, a nice surprise and also a nice conclusion, showing that he was the one person in the World who was proud of his son.

Some members thought the last part of the book felt like an epilogue or an afterthought, and maybe not needed to sum up the story. Others thought it made a good conclusion, and like a love story gone wrong, not just between Daisy and Gatsby but also Nick and Jordan.

Most members thought that F Scott Fitzgerald, was a good author, although with many of his characters in his other books also seeming shallow, we would read a book of his again, but maybe not in a hurry.

Nine people attended this meet, giving this classic an average score of 6 out of 10. The highest 8 and the lowest 5.

September 2011 – Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murikami

This was a very small meeting due to many members being on lovely holidays. We had a couple of new faces which is also nice to see.

Enjoyed by most of our members, it was thought to be very descriptive, which was not always welcome (members wanted him to get to the point). Murikami descriptive writing style was mainly appreciated when describing Japanese culture and public places, however none of our members appreciated his descriptive style during his many sex scenes. It is also worth mentioning that this book was translated, and although with many others, details tend to be lost in translation, we all agreed this seemed not to be the case with this book.

All of our members really liked Midori, perhaps feeling the real “love story” was between her and Toru, rather than Toru and Naoko. Midori, although seeming a little messed up (watching porn and wearing short skirts to hospital), our members felt it may have been her plea for Toru to really notice her. We didn't think much of the main character Toru, perhaps except when he sat with Midori’s father in the hospital, feeding him cucumbers. Two other characters that were liked were Reiko and storm trooper, everyone agreed that it would have been nice to hear more of what became of storm trooper, although it was mentioned that perhaps he was another suicide, vanishing out of the blue, and fitting the depressive, compulsive personality which fitted many of the other suicide victims.

There seemed to be two recurring themes throughout the book: Sex and Suicide. We found the suicide of Naoko to be slightly shocking, but were perhaps expecting a few more after her. Other members liked the music references and how Midori refrained from buying a bra so that she could buy some cooking implements.

The ending was met with disapproval as no one really knew what happened. We had a few speculative ideas as to where he was and whether or not Toru and Midori finally got together. We would have liked it to link back to the beginning (why was he arriving in Germany)?

We thought he is a very clever author, and used an excellent translator, very wacky and descriptive and most members would read something by him again. Once of our members has already read several books by him and states that this was not his usual writing style, saying he is usually much weirder! Would certainly be interesting to pick up and read “Kafka on the Shore” if you are interested in his more wacky works.

Five members scored, giving an average score of 7.5 out of 10, lowest being 6 and highest being 9, a very good result.

August 2011 - The Radley's by Matt Haig

It was a mixed review for The Radley's, although everyone said it was an easy read. It was mentioned that it felt repetitive and a bit long, after halfway it began to become boring as the author kept going over the same situations. Some thought it was better in the first half and it could have been more ''chucklesome'' on the whole. As others had read other 'Vampire Literature' before, they said the first one they ever read seemed to shape they way in which they visualised vampires and this one either did or didn't conform to some members ideas. It was neither a like or dislike book. 

All through the book there were subtle hints of previous vampire strories referred to, such as the dad being in the medical profession and Rowan Radley having skin complaints. The book had a story, it got a bit more pacey towards the end. The storyline makes good sense for a movie. The chapters were mentioned as being rather short, although this appealed to some. The chapter titles were thought to be imaginative to one or two people, for others, not of big importance. 


The characters were as convincing as they could get within a book about vampires. Dad was a bit of a drip and weak. The children were going though ''normal'' school and emotional issues as they do in real life. The characters were said to suit the plot. Will reminded some of Will Self, an author with a tendency for dry, ironic humour. Will was the most interesting character but could have been more 'bad' if the author had tried. The other characters were 'boring' and the author hadn't tried with them at all. The abstinence from blood references made parallels with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings which made a few people laugh. A few questions cropped up - why didn't the family drink VB in the first place, if it was okay to do it? Abstinence, maybe but it seemed to be a pointless part of the story as they were all quite happy to do it in the end. 
The whole book was referred to as 'teenagery' throughout the discussion. 

The musical puns throughout the book weren't appreciated, although many did like the Abstainer's Handbook for it's comical references to AA. Rowan drinking his mother's blood was thought to be incestuous and weird. Some said there weren't really any other moments or passages that struck them as profound. 


People saw the ending coming, and it didn't surprise them at all. The author seemed to be tacking things on, although he knew the ending before he started out. The book was a page turner as it was such an easy read. It could be the book that spawns more books like this one, perhaps with the same characters. The ending tied up the book on the whole and left people with not too many questions. Somebody mentioned how she empathised with the book as they were from a small country town themselves and had links with Manchester. One question - why would a father be happy with his daughter being converted by the people he hated so much? What kind of things must have been going through his head when he decided yes? 

The authors writing style wasn't offensive in any way, although it had the ideas and atmosphere, it was more suitable to teenagers such as the Twilight books. The title was the most literary part of the book with To Kill a Mockingbird reference. A cottage cheese kind of book with vanilla writing, this book had no edge, no challenge, and most of all, no bite.

Average score was 6/10 for this book.

July 2011 - The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad

Although the majority of our book group didn't have too many great things to say about this book, none of us detested it. We all felt slightly let down by the fact The Bookseller of Kabul, wasn't so much about the bookseller  Sultan himself, but his rather large family. Many of us were hoping to hear about Kabul's black markets during the Taliban rule, instead we were given several short, journalistic style stories about the family members.

It was still an extremely informative book, perhaps more so if you are not already acquainted  with Islamic rule or have a cultural awareness of Afghanistan itself. Some members mentioned that it came across as very bias towards the Western world, proving just how lucky we are to have such materialistic lives. 

Instead of taking her usual journalistic approach, Seierstad chose to integrate herself within the family's life, but kept her role as an honorary member of the family hidden from the book. Some members felt that the novelistic approach worked well, whilst others thought that the short stories worked better as separate journalistic articles about the family, feeling the short stories made the book feel disjointed in places. 

It would have been a nice little extra to add a family tree, there were so many characters that kept creeping in and out that it was easy to get lost. Rereading the foreword and first few chapters helped to re-establish the roles of important family members.

As it is a true story the characters are as believable as they can be, although the group did have doubt over the accountability of the translators Mansur (eldest son) and Leila (youngest sister), mainly because their stories seemed far more interesting than the other characters  Did they change how the readers would perceive their relatives?

A lot of the group have already read books such as The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and Girls of Riyadh, and were therefore not surprised to hear about the way of life in Afghanistan, or indeed any Islamic country but is did reinforce the horror of the Taliban rule and how women were so repressed such as needing a white cloth on the wedding night to prove she has only ever belonged to her new husband! The thought of no music and dancing also made our members very sad. It left us all wondering what life is like for women, and men in Afghanistan in 2011. One of our members also compared the very realistic rule of the Taliban, to dystopian fiction such as those rules seen in 1984.

The ending tied up all stories, everyone thought Sultan was an evil man, especially how he treated the carpenter, members had wanted to hear a bit more about Sultan or for someone to confront him, but settled with some of the family breaking free from him.

The general consensus was that none of us would rush out to read anything by Seierstad, but would read her books if she took a different approach or wrote about a subject which appeals to us. She is perhaps a little lost between being a fiction author and journalist, nevertheless an interesting book.

It is reported that in real life, Sultan was upset with the way he was portrayed in the book. Nothing good was said about him, however he did come across as the head of the family, and respected amongst the majority of his community. Some of us felt that he may have been unhappy with how he was portrayed as he knew the book would be available to the Western world and he would be viewed as a hard monster.

Eight members attended tonight's meeting which gave us an average score of 6 out of 10. Our lowest score was 4 and our highest was 8.

June 2011 - Submarine by Joe Dunthorne

It was always going to be a tough choice following on from the success of last months book Unbroken, so this book faired average, with varied opinions. It wasn't a serious book, and should not be taken as one, it only really appealed to a few members sense of humour, although most members did admit to laughing out loud in places. It is certainly a different book to what we usually read at book club, being a light hearted break from the serious choices the last few months have given us.

The plot was mostly believable, focusing on the mind of a 15 year old boy, his sexual fantasies and his aim to get his parents marriage back on track. The book also gave us an insight into family life, coping with depression and marital tensions.

As with a lot of the books we've read with a child narrative, Oliver came across as slightly autistic, a very intelligent buy naive boy, who like to use big words and often thinks quite sadistic thoughts such as wanting to punch Zoe in the ovaries. The relationship between his mother and father was believable and his father was well liked by everyone, all of the members were interested to see whether or not the parents marriage would continue. The family friend Graham, was thought of as a bit cliché, typical hippy, mid life crises and a bit sleazy.

Most of our members failed to remember a particularly profound or interesting passage of the book, we all agreed that the Turkish rug incident, which described a past sexual experience in a little too much detail, went a bit too far, making us feel awkward about the book. Some other members also kept remembering Oliver attempting to kill Fred, to help Jordana come to terms with her Mothers cancer and possible death.  


We had split opinions on the ending, some members thought it was a nice, happy ending which tied the story up nicely, others thought it had just been thrown together to make the book longer (the ghost story, the scene with Zoe and the family outing). It seemed as though the author rambled on a little too much, but it did leave the story open ended leaving many of us wondering what Oliver would grow up to be like, would he ever grow up?

We thought the writing style was quirky, very crude, lacked consistency but at the same time showed a lot of promise for the future. He provoked a mixture of emotions, laughter and embarrassment, however most members would only be likely to read another of his books if it received excellent reviews and wasnt based on a child narrative. The main reason for not hurrying to read another of his books were us all having too many other books on our shelves, nothing personal.

Nine members attended this meeting giving Submarine an average score of 5.8 out of 10, 8.5 being the highest and 4 being the lowest.

May 2011 - Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

This non fiction biography of WW2 hero Zamperini had to be our book clubs first clean sweep. We all really liked it! Zamperinis story is made different from other veteran bios due to the fact that Louis was an Olympian, and would most likely have been the first person to run the 4 minute mile, should the war have not happened.

It truly is a story of bravery, friendship, determination and heroism. At times absolutely heartbreaking but swiftly turning humorous. A page turner throughout, all of us eagerly wanted to know what happened to Louis, his friends and family. We have all known an older person who have lived through the war, and have likely bored us with their repetitive stories... If Louis was you Grandpa, you would never get bored of hearing this.

The book was also very well backed up with photos throughout, making it seem more real and certainly more interesting, making you feel as if you knew the people and places shown.

Laura Hillenbrand portrayed the characters very well, she went into great detail in interviews and research. Most of the members would have liked to get to know Louis a bit more, feeling that a lot of the time we only received facts about him, and not so much snippets of his personality, others disagreed, stating they felt they got to know him well. We all wanted to know more about most of the characters but understood that there is only so much that can be written about in one book  A great sign the real life people were adapted well into the story.

There was another character we would have liked to learn more about, that being the sadistic, Japanese, POW guard  The Bird. We all wanted to know if he ever felt any remorse, or why he acted the way he did. I few of the members would now like to read a book from the Japanese point of view on the war.

On the whole, as the story was based on real life events it was completely believable, especially the treatment of POWs. However a few members struggled with believing the whole story on the raft, for example the length of time, the way the men fought off the sharks in their weakened state. We thought this had either been over dramatised by Louis or by Hillenbrand in an attempt to make the book more adventurous. Also after the war, a few members struggled to believe how quickly Louis recovered from his post traumatic stress.

There were so many profound passages in the book, to name a few: The reality of POW treatment, when the men finally received the food drop - going from having nothing to having everything, Gaga the duck, the soldier who could have been killed by the Japanese pilot but instead got saluted and then made friends with him after the war, how Louis didn't give up his feelings for the Bird and the religious references.  

We all loved the ending, the epilogue tied up everything we wanted to know about the characters and we were all pleased to hear that Louis was and is still alive. Again we would have liked to hear more detail about a few people, and were sad to hear how some lives were after the war ended, but this was a book about Louis, and an excellent one at that.

Reading Unbroken has done enough for most of us to put Laura Hillenbrands first book Seabiscuit on our to be read list, we thought she is a brilliant author, simple but to the point, no waffle and does a lot of research which makes her stories very exciting. Well all certainly keep an eye out for any new releases from her.

As this was a clean sweep, the book is our highest ever scorer, nine members turned up giving us an average score of 8.1 out of 10. Our highest score was 9 and our lowest was 7!

April 2011 - Room by Emma Donaghue

Once again, this book divided the opinions of the group, generally most of us liked the book finding the narrative of the five year old Jack beautifully written. Some however found it a little strange and tiresome at times (perhaps because we've read a few other books from a childrens narrative lately). The bond between mother (Ma) and son Jack was the strongest element of this book, completely unbreakable. We found that a few members kept being reminded of the Josef Fritzl case, which allegedly the author based this story on, making the book intensely creepy right from the off.

In terms of the believability of the plot, we all agreed that although none of us have had any similar experience (thankfully), the beginning where Jack and Ma are trapped in the room is more real, the fact that people are kept hostage in such situations couldn't be argued with. However we all found the escape very elaborate (although the most entertaining part), it was hard to believe, Jack is meant to be a five year old boy, the escape is unlikely in the real world.

The way the characters adapted into the real world we also found too easy, although the younger the child is, the quicker they would adapt, we found Jack, his Ma and his extended family all excepted everything far too quickly, with the exception of Mas suicide attempt.


The group seemed to prefer Ma, in terms of how convincing they were, Mas depression was fairly consistent throughout, whereas Jack somehow came across very young and immature (even for a five year old) and at other times to be extremely intelligent for his age. Not much was mentioned about the men in the book, perhaps except steppa, so its difficult to comment on their roles. We would however would have liked to hear more from the real grandfather before returning to Australia, as we found his reaction towards Jack the most convincing of all the characters. Some situations just came across as silly and forced by the author, such as taking Jack into a busy shopping mall on the way to see the dinosaurs.

The main theme of the book was the mother-son bond, which many felt drawn to, some found the depression a holding point or the stillborn baby, whilst some found the captive situation stuck out in general. The breastfeeding was quite a profound theme, once again showing their bond, but this made some people feel quite uncomfortable, not so much that the five year old was being breast fed, but the way it was a recurring request for him to have some and his favouring the left one. Once Jack and Ma were separated, he craved breast milk once, but then seemed to forget about it throughout the week away from Ma.

The book certainly provoked a reaction from members, in a what if it were me?, sort of way. Would we give up a child who was born into that situation, or keep them to ourselves?

It is hard to comment on if we would read anything from this author again, due to the narrative, the group were fairly split on this one.

Thirteen people attended this meet and gave Room an average score of 5.4 out of 10. Highest score of 9 but a lowest of 3.

March 2011 - The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

This book was received well by all of our members, even those who scored it fairly low, found it an easy, very sweet book to read (it just wasn't their cup of tea).

The story focuses on the black history of Americas South Carolina in the 1960's and brings us into the brutal world of Rosaleen, the brave woman who works for a white man and his daughter. As well as focusing on the reality of racism, the story also focuses on Lily, the 14 year old girl, who blames herself for her mothers death when she was only four.

Since the death of her mother, Lily has not felt loved, her father forcing her to work on the stall selling peaches, and blaming her for everything that goes wrong, when he punishes her, he forces her to kneel on salts until her knees bleed, the closest thing Lily has to a mother is Rosaleen.

In the 1960's many of Americas black population, were uprising against the segregation, hoping to be able to cast their votes, the will power of Rosaleen and her fight to be able to vote started the story off. Rosaleen gets arrested and injured after defending herself against racists and whilst in hospital, Lily manages to break her out of police custody and they both go on the run. The group found this all a little too easy, a black fugitive and a young, white girl, somehow managing to avoid the law.


All throughout the book, there are several references to bees (hence the title), and when Lily and Rosaleen stumble across a town, with a familiar looking jar of honey, they ask the shopkeep who makes it and they find their way into the house of August and her two sisters. The group also found this happened too quickly, they never encountered any issues, and considering they were running from the law, we felt they didn't travel very far at all.

The three black sisters, took the two in, fed them, gave them a place to sleep and gave them work to do, most importantly August soon became the mother figure that Lily longed for.

Generally though, the plot wasn't very believable, and our members found the references to the bees at the start of each chapter the most captivating parts of the book. The characters were relatively convincing, there was a good variation, but we found that T-Ray the father, although not featured very much, was the most real. The relationship between Lily and August was extremely convincing, but we would have liked to have seen a bit more from a few other characters.

The middle section of the book was quite drawn out, with a lot of religious references, which is where I feel the book lost marks from a few members, the book could have been shorter. 

The writing style was beautiful, sweet and with several poetic elements throughout, and most of our members would read something by Sue Monk Kidd again.


The ending pretty much summed up what we all thought was going to happen, a few of us disagreed on who we thought had shot the mother, and why the father was as angry as he was but we all felt it finished the book off nicely, and gave closure. The only other thing we would have liked to have seen develop by the end, was Lilys romance with Zach.

We had 14 people vote on this one, and we have an average score on 6/10. Top mark being 8 and lowest being 4.

February 2011 - Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Overall we thought that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was an interesting but very good book. Most members mainly enjoyed reading Oscar’s parts, but found themselves getting a little confused over the grandparents stories, some members admitting that they skimmed over these parts. Everyone at the meeting had completed, or almost completed the book, and we did feel it’s one that grows on you as you read on.

The structure of the book was generally well liked, although some readers didn’t like the sentence structure and the way the grandparents stories were told, which lead to some confusion over who said what. Although the sentences in Oscar’s story, was fast paced, perhaps this was to portray the quick conversation that children tend to have. The pictures were enjoyed by all, adding an interactive element to the book.

Oscar was really well liked by everyone, a few members picked out from the book that he seemed Autistic, whether or not that was the intention of the author. The mother added confusion to the book, by allowing her child to explore New York on his own, even once this was further explained at the end, we still couldn’t believe a mother would allow this. The grandmother was generally more liked than the grandfather, both having believable elements to their stories, such as why they acted the way they did after the bombing of Dresden.

In terms of the plot, in the most part it was hugely believable as it was based around 9/11, but on a side scale, the way the author captured the grief and bereavement, especially from Oscar’s point of view was extremely touching; his self harming adding to this.

Our members were touched or shocked by so many aspects of this book, to name a few without going into too much detail were: The phone messages – Dad’s last words, and why did he not say “I love you”? The detail of the night Dresden was bombed, Hiroshima – Detail of people searching for loved ones, and the maggots, the grandmother never getting the affection she always craved.

I think that the ending divided the group. Half of the members  were disappointed that the mission to find out what the key was for didn’t really have any big revelation, feeling cheated that you had read so much without the big secret! Others were pleased that it seemed to provide closure, drawing everything together, especially bringing Oscar and his much closer – When he said he didn’t mind if she fell in love again, this showed a lot of answers had been found from Oscar, and that the mother had dealt with Oscar’s grieving the right way, by letting him go about with his investigation.

We had 9 members attend the meet tonight, and the book was scored an average of 7.2 out of 10, the lowest score being 5 and the highest 9.

January 2011 - Sepulchre by Kate Mosse

When the group first found out that this was our book, we thought it might be rather long, with almost 700 pages, we decided as Christmas is a busy time for everyone, to run this book over a 2 month period, and use the next meet to just have a lovely Christmas dinner!

The book, in fact was far too long, with everyone thinking it could have been considerably shorter, it had a good mixture of romance and violence, but just kept jumping back and forth between Meredith and the past, and generally just took too long to unfold. Most members found themselves scanning over the parts that they deemed to be irrelevant. Whilst some members can speak basic French, others couldn’t, and so the use of French phrases began to irritate those readers a little.

The most interesting aspects of the book were:  the French culture & landscape, riots and stories of daemons. Many members went off to do their own research and have definitely expressed an interest to read more factual information on the subjects. The tarot cards were also an interesting addition for many, again with members going away to research before coming back to the book with a greater understanding.

Our group found that the past was more believable, with Meredith being almost an afterthought of Kate Mosse, a few members also thought that Mosse was portraying herself slightly in the role of Meredith. The murders sometimes happened a little too easily and the dates and places didn’t always seem to add up.


The majority of the characters were well liked, with Leonie definitely coming out on top. Meredith was a little self absorbed, Julien could have been more developed. After having a little look online, it mentioned that the characters are made to represent certain tarot cards, perhaps tying in this theme nicely?

The group thought that the ending was very rushed, a period of about 7 years was crammed into one paragraph, which was made more of a problem considering the length of the book and how much detail Kate Mosse went into for the smallest thing throughout the book. Some of the members were still unsure of what actually happened to Leonie, although everyone expressed an understanding of the spiritual and superstitious element. However, the average ending and overall length of the book, didn’t stop our members from thoroughly enjoying this book, and most people would read another book by Kate Mosse again, some even saying they would read Sepulchre again.

For this book, 7 members attended, giving the book an average of 7 out of 10, lowest score of 6 and highest of 9.
