Okay, here is the start of my NY resolution....to read the 49 books I have sitting in my wardrobe. Books as presents, books my Dad (RIP) read (only Wilbur Smith) and mainly books from op shops....I keep buying books and not reading older ones (no doubt we are all guilty of this)...so I thought to get me motivated, I'd start a blog on the books and maybe someone out there may decide to read the book also and give me the 'push' I need to keep reading! Do not judge me by the books I read as I like trashy novels, autobiographies and crime......so here is the first....phew!
49 - Penny Vincenzi 'The Dilemma'
A friend in Toowoomba introduced me to Vincenzi last year and I read that book and enjoyed it (can't think of its name, about people meeting through a car wreck)..This one like the others I've read, is a long book. I'm not saying that in a bad way, cripes no....but it seems to take ages to get half way and that is where I'm at as I started just after the year started....
The book looks into the life of an english family and the dramas the rich have it....
so far out of ten I give it
6/10
and now I've finished it, its a rather indepth novel about family who-har but you can't put a decent story past Vincenzi, I'd like to see her write a true novel!
I know give it 7/10
Any viewer thoughts on the book?
