I'm sure it is partly when in your life you read a particular book but there are such variations in taste and opnion too - that is what makes a book group so stimulating!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439971686873530051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000393826816432988.post-8662711590256054042010-04-12T06:47:22.655+10:002010-04-12T06:47:22.655+10:00I can't believe you hated The Road!

I will absolutely be reading it again! I want to see the movie but i know it will be nothing like the book and will have to stop myself from comparing.<br /><br />Don't you love that two people can read the same book and have such completely different reactions?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954310823655874463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000393826816432988.post-81932792796522421322010-03-19T12:22:58.466+11:002010-03-19T12:22:58.466+11:00Looking forward to your review if A Single Man, Al...Looking forward to your review if A Single Man, Alice!

I have actually been to the cinema exactly once in 2010. You're right that the technique was appropriate to the character and theme of 'Perfume' but I could not bring myself to enjoy the book, I kept asking myself 'why'? put such craft into creating such a repellant and un-illuminating work. I know 1000s disagree.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439971686873530051noreply@blogger.com
