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.

2006-02-24 Not exactly top of the range English literature!

Four young men start out on their long climb up the greasy pole of politics. This book follows their progress as they join different parties and their progression into the ultimate corridors of power with one of them destined to become Prime Minister.

Although the story starts out as an entertaining and sometimes compulsive read, progressing deeper into the book you get the feeling of a disjointed story line and an impression that the writer seems slightly bored with what he is writing.

DO NOT READ THE LAST PAGE OF THE BOOK IF YOU LIKE TO FLICK AHEAD TO SEE WHAT THE END LINE SAYS AS THIS WILL GIVE THE GAME AWAY!!

I have to be honest with you though and say that I am not a Jeffrey Archer fan. Archer novels are clearly English literature's answer to junk food,- a great read at the time, but afterwards you feel mentally the worse for wear, with the distinct feeling of having achieved nothing of serious substance in your own life. I know Im not wrong on my appraisal because so many of his books can be found languishing in Charity Shops whereas most book buyers I know tend to keep books they have read on their own book shelves. I rest my case!

On a slightly more positive note, my favourite of his stories is "Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less" which they managed to turn into a pretty decent drama on TV. One to watch out for if they ever release it on DVD.
