If you're not the Book Police, who is? If anyone does want to review a non-book group book I'll put a link in the sidebar

I've done my review of The Passion.

Finding it very difficult to get into TWoFStreet. I can see it's a well-written book I'm not finding it unputdownable. So I keep putting it down. Mostly though it's because I'm so busy, I'm barely reading.

Not very gripped by The Passion, so far.

Annoyed by the plethora of short sentences; particularly when a Very Short Sentence gets a paragraph all to itself.

(This says nothing about the story, so I don't consider it a spoiler).

This is a short sentence.
He was a ghost.

That was shorter.
And.
A spoiler.

The.

End.

Not starting it yet. I'm ill and I think it would be unfair on the book to try it while I'm bad tempered from lack of sleep.

I liked the short sentences in the Passion
they fit very well with how I think/communicate
I'm pretty sure if I ever tried writing, I would naturally come out with short sentences
so I'm automatically more well-disposed to them
