I've done very little work this week and I hold this book entirely responsible! I love the way this author writes and found it really hard to stop reading. It's not often a book has that effect on me, I can usually find somewhere to stop but I just wanted to know more.
Written as an on-line diary (I won't call it a blog because most blogs you come across aren't like this, this was a real diary) it defied the convention of show don't tell, yet in telling the reader what had happened over the last few days it put us in touch with the characters, especially the leads. This was the perfect way to tell this story.
I had no trouble with the fact I read the first part ages ago, but then I'm the sort of person who can read three books at the same time and not get confused with what's going on. But I promise I won't leave it so long to read the next one!! But I'd better wait until I have no work to do!
