The formatting was the main thing that irritated me but the story line just didn't have anything to it either :( It's a shame because I half of my English exam is based on this book!Jennie Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966812860557569058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000709859523010404.post-69986690647966567942015-01-06T21:14:12.138+00:002015-01-06T21:14:12.138+00:00Oh, this doesn't seem like the kind of book I ...Oh, this doesn't seem like the kind of book I would read myself. It's a shame you couldn't like it. And the idea of the formatting being so bizzare - no speech marks! - would definitely get on my nerves. I was curious about one set in Ireland because I have read another book that was great and set there (A Cry From the Deep, Diana Stevan) but I think I will give this one a miss.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000709859523010404.post-86224345837644351652014-12-27T18:11:20.240+00:002014-12-27T18:11:20.240+00:00Everything in the cover is part of the story yes. ...Everything in the cover is part of the story yes. I purchased a copy with a different cover but I wish I had got this one because it's more creative and I like the colours and cartoon aspect.<br />Yeah I really didn't like the style. There were no chapters and no quotation marks and the font was almost in bold which I think is also just due to the copy I bought :(<br />I was speaking to my Grandma and she told me that Roddy Doyle is actually supposed to be a well known/ really good author so I might pick up a book with a synopsis that intrigues me personally but I'm not sure yet :)Jennie Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966812860557569058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000709859523010404.post-68777423863266986322014-12-27T02:41:16.227+00:002014-12-27T02:41:16.227+00:00I think I will probably avoid this book, though I ...I think I will probably avoid this book, though I am curious as to what the "ha ha ha" is referencing to now.<br />That cover is pretty interesting though. Does it tie in with the story?<br />I had to read a book for school without quotation marks this year, and it was the most frustrating thing. I know it's said to make the writing more fluid, but honestly it made it harder for me because I had to pause to make sense of who was talking and such.<br />Great review! :)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.com
