Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2008-07-06 Preposterous entertainment

As a big fan of Archer's books, I thought this was no more than a middling affair from an author some distance past his best. Its premise is utterly ludicrous - a bit like Archer himself, I suppose - and I had a difficult time suspending disbelief for any length of time.

The main character, Danny, goes from working class chav to educated toff in less time than it takes to say "You're a James Blunt" - and it is simply ridiculous.

There is, of course, the obligatory auction, along with prison cell and courtroom shennanigans (something which Archer should know about) - and a convoluted revenge plot. Not sure what the shock ending was supposed to be either. Silly, mildly entertaining tripe.
