Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A thoroughly feel-good, comforting, happy book.

Not a particularly good novel.

Looking at the titles of the author's other works, I suspect he has found a rich vein and is busy mining it. Sorry to be cynical.

The Protestant Reformation did away with purgatory, but I notice it often creeps back in a slightly different guise.

No, I mean the one that tells you the five people are Jon Voight, Ellen Burstyn, Jeff Daniels, Dagmara Dominczyk, and Michael Imperioli. :-)

Finished it last night about 2 minutes to midnight.

Started unsure about it even though its been on my radar for years.
Took me more than a day to read few shattering shifts at work. Soon warmed to Eddie and I felt sorry for him. Did get emotional towards/the end because I'm a soppy git.

I read it in the bath last night.
I thought it was pretty boring, not well written, full of clichées. Even though I fell asleep twice, I managed to keep it dry. Took just under 3 hours to plough through it...

I last saw it in the Post Office. I rarely get any further than that.
