Fiso book club - March 2014 - Life after life - discuss

[arsene doesn't know]

Good questions! Don't have an e reader so guess I'd best hit amazon.

Would like to state for the record now - if any of the books have subtle 'undercurrents', hidden meanings or metaphors commenting on life, I won't spot them.

[WilBert]

Everyone reads first, to stop spoilers I suppose. When everyone's read or the last week in the month we start talking bollox?

Or everyone could send me a review. I publish on a certain day?

The nominator could come up with a set of questions we have to answer?

Any other ideas?

I'm on page 1 already

I'll report back when I get to page 2

[unc.si.]

Only £2.50 on kindle. Bargain basement.

Read page 1 so far.

First impressions were that the juxtaposition of the allegorical Platonic elements of rhetoric were aligned contemporaneously with the almost Sophistic dialectical prose, and perfectly enunciated the essential mephistophical conflict between the protagonist and their bête noir.

Nice tits as well.

Everyone will take from it what they take from it ADK. Unc has already found a bra full of long words

I must have downloaded the paperback version

[Achiles74]

I will have a look in my local works today, I can only read from paper books, cannot get into reading ebooks and the like.

[Knulpuk]

In. happy with choice.

[arsene doesn't know]

Winging its way to me from amazon - got feeling I should have checked local supermarket first.

[Achiles74]

How much did u pay on amazon for it

[Surprised]

I can only buy from US site where its 12usd for the Kindle version so had to get an alternative source

I hope you guys didn't buy the Jill McCorkle "Life after Life" book!

[Achiles74]

That can be the second book to read after this one then?

[Knulpuk]

Still 99p - nice bonus that!

[Surprised]

Still 99p - nice bonus that!

I'm not sure why it is 99p on the UK site but 12SD on the US site.

[WilBert]

Its free on my site

[arsene doesn't know]

How much did u pay on amazon for it

£3.50 (weirdly was $27 on Amazon.com)

(quick edit, wasn't £3.75)

[Vid]

Downloaded it for Kindle 99p, started reading it on PC, through 15 pages, not sure I'll keep going, missus might read it though.

[Surprised]

I didn't actually pay for it.

I will start reading it after I've finished the Lee Child's book I'm reading.

[Vid]

Now up to page 78, tempted to skip to the final chapter to see if there's any point in reading the bits in the middle

[bspittles]

Got to finish my current book first! Will hopefully start this one sometime next week.

[Vid]

Now through 140 pages, had enough. Good luck to those that will see it through.

Is it really that bad?

The concept is good, but in my opinion the execution is not. I'll leave any further comments until the discussion starts and will chip in with my own at the time, if I notice the chat and remember the reasons for dropping it a quarter of the way through.

I bought it (mostly for Mrs m) a couple of weeks back - needed a second book for a 2 for £7 from Tesco (with the JK Rowling pseudononymous book).

Suggestion - all comments start with how far you are in the book e.g. "Chapter 5" and you 'hide' any plot spoilers in a tiny font size - doesn't work on Tapatalk but tough!

Back Cover

Sounded like a 'chick-lit groundhog day' to me I may give it a go after finishing my current book.

Nothing better to do so through 240 pages now.
