I've been meaning to read this one for ages - I hope it's good.
Happy reading!

Any one else got their copy yet? I have to finish my current read before I can make a start...

My copy has just arrived from the library, I'll be making a start soon. How's everyone else getting on?

I'm three chapters in, and it's off to a good start...

I have finished it. Quite enjoyed it.

What did you like about it, Susie? I'm enjoying the writing style, it's simple, yet poetic. I'm also liking the fact that I don't quite know where the story will lead...

I thought the writing was beautiful and the premise interesting because you really want to know what's going on. I thought it telling that all of the characters remain nameless.

I was just thinking the same thing - no one has a name...

.... except the dog, Don. How come he gets a name, but none of the people do? Am I missing something?
