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.

2008-06-21 Good book, but limited appeal

None of the previous reviews matched my own experience of this book. For a start there is only one picture (of Dirac); perhaps the comment refered to the feynman diagrams?

To start with this book contains two lectures by two different people. Weinberg's lecture is very general, but contains insights from 20+ yearsago. I personally prefer 'road to reality' by penrose, but the explanation of why the lagrangian form of the standard model cannot be the form of any final understanding is very clear.

Feynman's lecture is the better one. It leaps forward through some of Dirac's work, but follows a very unique route. The speed is sometimes rapier like, and there are a couple of changes in direction that you have to read and re read to catch, but it is a wonderful journey and very accessible to people outside of university physics departments (I graduated 25 years ago) despite the plethora of equations.

Worth the £2.70 I paid, for a new book, to an amazon dealer.
