An increasing sense of environmentalist hypocrisy

Amazed at how a whole town can see their seafront ruined, and still not blame climate change.

True about social media addiction

Reminiscent of the Da Vinci code with all the exposition.

Glad to have a cast of characters

Gun-toting apes

I didn't read book #1; hopefully I didn't miss too much. A bit of a "Mr Mercedes" (Stephen King) feel with its terrorism themes.

Constable Country

A big essay on Romantic images of the countryside.

Hoping I don't need to remember every name.

St Mawes
Enjoying it, despite the claims against the author.

Maggot factory

The Wish was a bit bemusing.

A very Tales of the Unexpected Feel.
I read "Man from the South" many years ago.

Seems to be introducing characters with an interest in the crashed plane.

Just keeping up with the switching between Charlie Parker narrating and the story within a story.

A bit of a slow burner here in terms of plot. Starting to enjoy Lisbeth's story.

Could take some getting used to, particularly with that present tense narrative.

Liking the football teams analogy

The earth is scheduled for demolition - seeing the Douglas Adams influence.

Shocking bit involving Sylvie.

I had completely missed the fact that Peter was seeing two women. His chapters still seem harder than Ivan's to process - very scattergun.

Getting used to the prose style - trying to work out if Peter's is just a bit chaotic.
Expected Margaret to be much older.

Finally they had a section on rambling.

Oh, I remember visiting Tyneham.

Coast path

So most paths in the countryside originated with old trade routes.
