Shell, having done bereavement counselling, Harold read to me as though the
author had gone through the manual and planned the book like that. My main
criticism of the book was that it left nothing to the imagination, so
perhaps it was just something I knew too much about. But I don't mean to say
it was crude or poorly written - I don't think it was. In all honesty,
although I liked Harold, I think I'm far more interested in the spikey
characters in a story, rather than the really nice ones.

Subject: [ebooktalk] Hemingway, Joyce and Grisham.
Hi June,
I have never read anything by Ernest Hemingway, but always thought he
sounded like an interesting person and have seen several books about him
that I would like to read.
I agree with your friend to a certain extent about John Grisham, though I
do like to read one every few years. I think I just read two too close
together this time.
I read Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry after seeing it
on the Richard and Judy list, but I have to admit that I didn't like it at
all. I often find their books very hit and miss. Did you see that Judy
Finnigan has a novel out too at the moment? I'm not sure whether to give it
a try or not as my friends who tried it didn't like it. I may give it a go
if I see it for free somewhere. I haven't seen their most recent list of
books yet.
Shell.
