As I said in my comment, I hadn't planned to read it, and then my group here decided to do it. As you know I did find it tedious to some degree but not to your degree. I didn't find the characters as inconsistent as you ... I thought they were rather realistic. Walter became angry because of the frustrations in his life, Joey gradually grew up etc. But, perhaps I didn't read it as closely as you did.<br /><br />I did find the tone not clear ... what was satire, what was straight.<br /><br />BTW I did think the phone sex was a little more than I needed to know ... but he did then show, I suppose, how it was more than Connie wanted to be part of too after a while.<br /><br />Ah well, enough of that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-60582538288004221842010-11-10T09:29:39.581+01:002010-11-10T09:29:39.581+01:00The book is available now on Amazon.

Mark comes from Yorkshire but lives in Budapest, was a magazine editor, before that a financial journalist, before that a futures trader, before that at Cambridge, runs a website about disappearing languages, speaks excellent Hungarian, teaches in Austria from time to time in some capacity I've forgotten, seems to be interested by almost everything, reads very widely and appears to remember far more of what he reads than I ever can remember of what I read, lives an eccentrically unplugged in life (not unplugged in to computers but to conventional things like car ownership and financial ties et cetera). Is that the sort of thing she wants to know?zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-12307695880881976452010-11-10T09:15:37.292+01:002010-11-10T09:15:37.292+01:00Not only does she know what to do with a link, she...Not only does she know what to do with a link, she now also wants to know more about Mark Griffith and his proposed book "Collateral Damage"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-39448661083554723122010-11-09T19:47:23.598+01:002010-11-09T19:47:23.598+01:00Oh dear, I do love your labels for this.

But, the question is, is it better than Jacob de Zoet since at least you finished this one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-36985586562139842372010-11-09T11:25:36.888+01:002010-11-09T11:25:36.888+01:00How impressive to have a mother who knows what to ...How impressive to have a mother who knows what to do with a link.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-11083938205036878582010-11-09T11:17:16.891+01:002010-11-09T11:17:16.891+01:00hmmmm.... my mother is reading this book.
