Growing up I was a huge "Adrian Mole" Fan, so when a friend of mine lent me this book to read, I couldn't wait to get into it!
This book was an easy read and was enjoyable enough. It didn't reach the Adrian Mole status, but was a satisfactory story.
You may ask yourself, how interesting can a book be about a woman who stayed in bed for a year, but it has some very "Real" scenarios in the book that really did make me stop and think.
She portrays how in this day-and-age people can go from doing their own thing to "SuperStar - Guru" Status through the Twitter-sphere simply because one person assumes something.
As the book progressed I felt more and more sorry for the main character Eva, who originally (in my mind) was just losing it.
Ms. Townsend manages to add a little light-heartedness to the story and I did have to giggle in spots, but it wasn't as said on the cover "I laughed until I cried" kind of book for me at all, and I felt the serious undertone of the story was definitely more pronounced than the humorous side of it all.

I award this book:

Sounds like an interesting read. I often think how much our lives seem to be "online" now, and not necessarily out in real life.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
DeleteI agree, the world has been reduced to what we can see on the screen of a smartphone or pad - it is quite tragic!
