Is it just because I'm (almost) contemporary to Dex & Em that it worked for me?!

(Language: English)
Again, read alongside the TV adaptation and loved both. Uncomfortably close to current banking crisis/Madoff etc... society would be so different if we still had debtors' prisons, don't you think?!

Loved it, second time around. Read alongside the TV series and enjoyed both all the more for it.

(Language: English)
Thought-provoking. Didn't think I was enjoying it and then found the frustrating pace rather clever!

The first Thomson I read and still, probably, my favourite. Some wonderful phrases in here.

(Language: English)
It's taken me a long while to get around to reading this... but definitely worth the wait. Delightful.

(Language: English)
Finished it last summer... started it twenty years ago!! Glad to have made it to the end.

(Language: English)
Another in my Wilderness Suite. Made all the more special for the unexpected meeting with Roger Deakin, with whom I have walked paths that I am, unfortunately, never likely to take.

A Reader posted a review at 2010-04-23 04:33:48 for A Book of Silence.
(Language: English)
Sara Maitland's exploration and search for silence is illuminating and challenging. I wonder how possible it is to incorporate silence into everyday life but I for one am very envious of Sara and her hermitage!

A Reader posted a review at 2010-04-23 04:16:34 for Everything is Illuminated.
(Language: English)
A wonderful novel with a huge grin and a premium heart... and the film adaptation is as exuberant and moving as it should be.

A Reader posted a review at 2010-04-23 04:09:02 for Zeitoun.
(Language: English)
Another personal story, told in restrained and beautiful prose, which makes a shaming episode in US(world?)recent history very real and human.

(Language: English)
It's stayed with me longer than I expected
