O.K so I was a bit disapointed by this months book- Sweet Mandarin by Helen Tse- I don't know whether I had high expectations or whether the book just wasn't that good. It was interesting - especially at the start and it was great that it was based in Manchester but I'm afraid it took a big dip at about the half way point (no maybe it was before then) and never quite made it back. I guess it's worth a read... one of the members said that it had lots of good reviews on Amazon. It wasn't the worst book ever but I think it was a bit of a marketing tool for the restaurant they were opening by the same name.
But on the positive side I am loving the book club and it's members - more of whom I met today. It's o.k that I am the dumbest there and that I don't know much (or anything) about the political and historical events that we weave in and out of. They are all soo friendly and smart and interesting and OMG Bobby Bacala from the Soprano's is in Ugly Betty and a huge Spider just ran across my floor so this has got to be the end of this post.
