If he's the guy that played the well attired flatmate of Huge Grunt, Then yes , I've seen him, well almost all that I require to see of him, But as for recognising his name? I think most people would struggle on that one.
Well in that case I wish you luck with this project, It's probably a combination of the weather and my temporay health problem that is responsible for my cynicism, coupled with the fact that I only read Terry Pratchett's offerings to the gods of literature.
PS : I hope you sold more than just the four books this morning :innocent:

Who said 4 - not me!!

There's nothing wrong with Terry Pratchett - great storyteller. Sun's shining in Wales today, at last.

Hope you feel better soon.

Having obtained a copy of this fascinating literary offering , ( by nefarious means I might add )
 
I have one or two things to say about it that you may find totally out of character for me.  :-J
 
I had a few computer problems to sort out yesterday so did not sit down for a read until 9pm last night. I  reached chapter 7 and reluctantly put the book down before I was overcome by the urge to sleep. So I eagerly returned to this fast moving potboiler of a yarn at 0600hrs this morning and could not let go until I reached the end. It is a gripping read and I heartily reccommend it to all and sundry, Anyone jetting off to warmer climbs should pack a copy to read on the sunkissed beaches of their destination, or just by the log burner with a glass of malt.
Very entertaining and up to date storyline that you can empathise with. Plus the added bonus of the property thrown in for good measure,  :thumbsup: so it gets my ever sceptical thumbs up.

Well thanks Tizaala, I wasn't expecting that!! Really nice to know you enjoyed  it.

It would be good to know what you thought Teasel, when you get the chance.

Quick update from the Gangani Farmhouse - the sun's shining at last so the owners are taking the chance to renew the garage doors and move the compost heap from it's currently waterlogged position, they're roping in volunteers, but unfortunately I might be just too busy today!!

Finally found time to finish it between packing boxes. What can I say, I plant vegetables, I don't do reviews.

I loved it. I felt so sorry for the main character and her adversary reminded my why I moved to the country, and why I prefer to work with vegetables!! But I can say I couldn't stop reading, I had to know what happened. Looking for the tissues one minute and laughing at the farmer with turettes the next. And it's so fast I've got to the end and feel exhausted.

If I win the smallholding then great, is does look to die for, but if I don't I can't wait for book 2.

Thanks a lot - a little treat.

Just a word of warning to those thinking of getting the ebook.  I ordered Saturday and they sent me through a link to download the book but I only tried to do it today and the link expired on Saturday (the day I ordered)
I have sent them an email asking what happens next and am currently waiting for a reply

Sorry you had a problem bionic. I emailed you staight back as soon as I knew you had a problem, attaching a copy of your epub, let me know if you didn't receive it. The download time has now been altered to 5 days, so hopefully no more problems.

I've definatley GOT to buy this book -it sounds exactly my sort of story.   Much, much prefer PAPER than 'e' books though (we had this conversation on the forum not long a go  ;) ) and a bit short of reddies at the mo (its amazing how expensive the entry fees are for these sheep shows  :o :o ) so will get my order in at the beginning of August.   :fc:
Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again !!

Gangani,
I have just received your email and responded to it. Unfortunately the link you have sent cannot be opened.
Hopefully you can respond to the email tomorrow as I have suggested.
thanks
Sally

Well I bought this and it's  great story. I read it in a oner. Beautiful allegory and well written but left feeling that it was a bit........ shallow.


The plot, themes and characters could have been researched and described in much greater depth IMO. There were alot of things left in mid air.


But - not bad for a lottery ticket  ;D ;D
