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.

2007-09-23 Confusing Read

Hi,

I found this book really hard to follow. I really enjoyed the style of Head First Patterns, and wanted something similar focussed on .NET examples rather than Java. The book gives a 1 page per patterb intro and then jumps into a convoluted real world application using MSMQ, COM Interop and all sorts of other pieces. I feel a topic such as this should focus on the patterns, and the application being developed to demonstrate the pattern should be secondary. The writing seems to jump around a lot...for example "we'll put this abstract method in, and comment it out, we will need it later". I found this very confusing.

Perhaps I am just too stupid for a book like this?
