Nick Garlick's Blog: Sorry, Marlies

My favourite Kathy Burke moment was in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, where she played – I think – the editor of the magazine the leads worked for. She marches into a planning meeting, demands to know what they’ve got lined up for the next issue, then proceeds to ditch every idea they’ve offered and dictate the contents herself. All in about 90 seconds.

This book reads just like that. Fast

Nick Garlick and 3 other people liked Fleur Bronke's review of Midnight’s Children: "I had to DNF this book. The timeline is all over the place and a lot of what is described is irrelevant to the rest of the story. The main character wasn't even born until page 100, and the birthing took 7 pages alone. I heard it picks up halfway thr" Read more of this review »

This is funny, good-natured, and with a real sympathy and understanding for a character who's often used for laughs - or other cruel comments - in many stories: the 'fat' girl. Jo Cotterill takes 11-year-old Angelica (Jelly) and all her worries and c ...more
