GregP Aug 2021 12:26pm, 3 Aug 2021 128,391 posts	0 GregP My cousin Mary, from Harold Wood, calls people 'babes' in a manner I'd find perfectly fitting with how I imagine a Mar'ina Cole book would work. She scares me, does my cousin Mary.

GregP Aug 2021 4:23pm, 7 Aug 2021 128,551 posts	0 GregP I'm currently reading Power Down by Ben Coes. He tells a decent story but the writing and editing leaves a lot to be desired. McDL's going to love this.

Diogenes Aug 2021 4:41pm, 7 Aug 2021 61,898 posts	0 Diogenes The Henry more is just "like some piece of modern art"? The security guard's head was cut out of dark marble? This is very much in the mould of the grate Dan Brown. Did the author self-edit and self-publish this? I can't believe that anyone else read it before it was committed to press/e-formatter.
