Comment on Review: A Child’s Journey Out of Autism by Leeann Whiffen by soulresponsibility

As a mother of a three year old who has just received a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder, I will attempt to do anything and everything to help make my little boy’s life that much easier, and I absolutely understand why the author went to such lengths . It is complicated and often misunderstood and I hope this book helps us all to understand Autism better.

Comment on Review and Giveaway: The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff by Clare

I read this recently and agree with your review. An excellent read, I was absorbed in the dual story lines and fascinated in an uncomfortable way by the plural marriage theme. I think Ebershoff captures the different eras beautifully with his use of language and all the characters seemed equally real and authentic.

Thank you for writing this review and sparing me the tedium of reading the book. I was feeling bad about rejecting it in the bookshop on my way from the shelf to the till. I thought the writing style was clumsy and unskilled and instantly didn’t care what he did, or how, or why. Now I can go to my reading group on Friday in the clear and certain knowledge that I made the right decision!

Yikes, I think I have less fear of the swine flu that getting trapped on a plane on a runway for 7 hrs, which is why I won’t fly. I does sound a bit ripped from the headlines. Thanks for the honest review
