AlexD-
Enjoyed it. Bit transparent and trying to avoid being too stereotypical of some characters in places and I wish some of the various characters stories were more prominent but some good observations and humour in there.
Having read a 580 page book for our book club[1] in under a week (and 6 weeks early) I've now earned my reward of reading Permanent Record by Snowden. After that I've got to catch up on some of the book club books I never finished (or even started in some cases) - Tess of the D'Urbervilles - American Pastoral - Stoner - Wuthering Heights - Catcher in the Rye - Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow - Pregnant Widow (the other 7 I didn't finish didn't score well).
- Anything over 300 pages and the majority don't finish it in the usual 2 months between meeting, but then we all tend not to start it until a week before we're supposed to meet.

Reading Capital by John Lanchester for our current book club.
Previous book was The Salt Path by Raynor Winn which is an interesting read but not particularly deep.
Just ordered Permanent Record by Snowden because I want to be on yet another Govt watchlist.
