Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fair enough. It’s a gentle obituary, making the usual ‘extreme version of Carl Hiaasen’ comment and noting the his 26 books genuinely get better. Which makes me a tad fearful about the first one.

Still loving Bad Monkey on Apple TV+ mind.

That's strange as I could read it and I'm not paying for it.

I'm sad to say I'd not heard of him but he sounded like a interesting man

Having read a few reviews, I think I'll give this one a miss. If the local library service had had it (it doesn't), I would have requested it, but am not inclined to pay for something I probably shan't enjoy.

by curious coincidence I'll be re-reading Ancillary Justice soon

it has been 9 years since I first read it, and I am interested to see if it can hold on to the 5-Star rating I gave it back then

Roadkill has arrived.. Still reading A thousand ships so will finish that first.

Also as people talking about Pat Barker who I love. And her book The silence of the girls noticed my local library had it. But when I got there it wasn't there apparently on hold. Popular book so I ordered another copy which is already in transit
