moccainuk Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think the general consensus was "good; not the best we've read". What did you think, Ron? I think everyone enjoyed Notes on an Exhibition but I think there was more debate on the relevance of certain characters and how large a part they played in the novel compared to whether we liked the writing style/storyline.

Shauna_C Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks Mocca. I'm a complete idiot. I've changed my post above so it says 3 September now to avoid any confusion! This is why I never organise anything...because I always get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarey Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi All Sorry I didn't make it last time had planned to but work got in the way! Oh and Sarah was in Cornwall. Will definately both be back next time. btw I read Notes from an exhibition (in about 3 days as Sarah only returned it to me on the Sunday) and really enjoyed it.

moccainuk Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh dear God!! Was just on a cinema website and they have made The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas into a film!! So I am guessing movie studios have decided to COMPLETELY give up on producing new ideas?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they do say there are only seven stories in the world ... and recycling is very fashionable nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
