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.

2005-10-28 Intresting historical perspective

The book is valuable for two reasons, firstly it is interesting to compare how TinTin developed over the years, and secoundly for anyone with an interest in Soviet history, how the orginal stories in Le Soir (belgium newspaper)in the 1930's and the book, were and still are, portrayed by some as mere anti communist propoganda.

It is chilling that despite millions of people being murdered in Gulags or shot out of hand, that the book which falls short of showing the full horrors of lenin and Stalin regimes are still derided in this way.

Anyway once again a good book, but for some the biggest critism is that boy dectective might have got too close to the real world in his first outing.
