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.

2003-11-05 Doesn't Disappoint

I first happened across the Rumpole books a decade or so ago, and each offering has been a gem. John Mortimer, as usual, takes the opportunity to use Rumpole as a vehicle to cast a satirical eye over (relatively) recent political and legal issues. Equally, however, each story stands on its own merits irrespective of whether one recognises the real world events which provide the backdrop.
The usual cast of characters, who will be familiar to readers of previous books, are present together with a new arrival or two.
The only issue I have with this book (and with some of the Rumpole series in general) is the sometimes extraordinary series of co-incidences upon which the plot resolution depends - chance meetings, mutual aquantances etc. Still, providing the reader is sufficiently willing to suspend their disbelief, Rumpole remains a joy to read.
