Finished Things Fall Apart. Third act felt pretty rushed, and subsequently it sort of came off feeling a bit like the kind of book you'd read for a-levels. Don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing, or if I've just become a terrible cynical bastard over the years. Beautiful prose throughout though.
Yes, sadly it doesn't end as well as it starts. That's a very common ailment.

Have now moved on to reading The Vorrh, by Brian Catling, which I'm supposed to be reading for a book group. I say supposed to reading as I've managed to get to page 8 and the thought of another 490 pages of this turgid heavy-handed prose is filling me with despair so I've given up for the moment.
