Tinka | 495 comments I'll pass this one. I have such a huge book for Uni to read...and I can't find it in the library


Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments I'm going to read it as it fills the antonym spot on the 2015 challenge.


Catherine | 12 comments Just started reading this. I saw the film for the first time a few weeks ago and enjoyed it so hoping the book is better.


Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments I'll be starting it in the next couple of days.

There's a film too?"


Yes, it stars Kevin Spacey, John Cusack and Jude Law. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it but it was compelling in a strange way!


Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments Enjoying this book, the writing is nice and easy to get into and some of the characters in Savannah are great, Luther has been my favourite so far with his flies tied to string.


Catherine | 12 comments Really enjoyed this book, although I felt it could have been a little shorter, the film certainly condenses it of course, and some things are left out. I did love the characters, especially The Lady Chablis, who is also in the film, playing herself! You really get a sense of the inhabitants living in a backwater and the oddballs the town produces and I was reading I could not help but imagine the town bathed in perpetual sunlight.
Those poor flies though!


Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments Brilliant, just read about The Lady Chablis, she was awesome, glad she was included in the movie, not seen it yet but will read it after the book.


Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments Finished it, good read. Need to find time to watch the movie, wanna see Lady Chablis on screen. :-)
