Book lover

I have just finished reading Book Lover by Jennifer Kaufman and Karen Mack. ( What can I say I have more than one book on the go all the time) I quite liked the book, but it really didn't hook me until close to the end when in first person the narrator (Dora) says " ... I go into the guest bedroom and pull a paperback out of my bag, the new David Mitchell book, Cloud Atlas. Its about the transmigration of souls across four continents and three time zones, but I quickly decide that it is unreadable." (p 178) YAY! I couldn't get past the bit, in Cloud atlas, where one section ends in the middle of a sentence and doesn't get picked up again for 50 or so pages. (I flicked through to see how long before the sentence is finished) It maybe a literary technique, but frankly it sucked!!! I thought the author was a bit pretentious and have been turned off any other books he's written.

The main reason I decided to read Book lover, was because I love to read, and I like reading about others who like to read. I wish I could shut myself away for three days and go on a book bender!
