Writing and me

If I had a tardis, I'd go back and meet young Jim. Tell him to learn to sing, play piano and get enrolled in a university course in English literature.

There are three book in this series. I really enjoyed 1 and 2 but 3 was a little disappointing/ Don;t let that put you off reading. The story is good and a diffent nuance to other WW2 tales.

This is a weird little tale but it grows on you, the more you read. At first, you wonder what is going on but a little mystery is good. The story flips and now you know your cheering on the baddies. All hail to the baddies! Give it a go. I think you' ...more

This is a good read. I wouldn;t rate it as high as "Ruins" but it's still worth your time. If I had a criticism, it was that the characters were a little inconsistent for my taste but don;t let that put you off reading. ...more

I enjoyed book 1, 2 and 4 but 3 and 5... no,no,no. This title especially felt like Richard was phoning it in. All of a sudden, characters have entirely different personalities. Sorry, but I really didn;t enjoy this book.
